I found that the bedroom slide and under the bed need to be cleaned, if possible, and lubricated where the top carriage slides on the bottom carriage. If I remember correctly, the two carriages slide on pieces of angle iron and wheels. My bedroom slide didn't stop sliding, but after cleaning and lubrication, the top carriage's angle irons (left and right) slid much easier over the bottom carriage's angle irons (left and right).
