Expert Reply:
You could be experiencing some sort of hydraulic issue, so I would check the hydraulic lines for any signs of leakage and make sure that the reservoir is not low. I would also recommend that you're getting the full 12v of power onto the solenoid on the Hydraulic Power Unit. If you can verify that there are no leaks present and your reservoir is full, let me know and I can give you a couple of other troubleshooting steps.
At the end of the day, you may need to replace the hydraulic pump with the Lippert Replacement Hydraulic Power Unit with 2-Quart Pump Reservoir Kit for RV Slide-Out IRC System # LC141111.
