slide / pump noise

hi all, i opened my slides today and the bedroom slide made what sounded like a machine gun noise. this noise started as soon as i pushed the open switch and lasted until the slide started to move. so i closed it and tried again, same noise. the bedroom slide is the first to open. LOL, the" machine gun" noise more technical, like a rack and pinion setup jumping teeth.

any ideas?

Just a thought - the slides operate on an electric reversing solenoid (near the pump). Is it possible that thing is clicking in and out because of a bad electrical connection?

It would be a similar sound to a car with a bad starter or low battery and the solenoid just chatters like a machine gun.
