The HWH site is the place to go for troubleshooting details. But
by "not extending" do you mean that...1: you get the electric relay
clicking noises, but the pump motor does not run; 2: is it that
everything sounds normal (relay clicks, pump running) and the "feet"
just do not come down? If it is #2, then the prior suggestions for a
fluid check are the ticket. If your situation is more of #1: then you
may have an electrical problem. You need to check power to the unit and
the unit ground. On my coach I have gone thru two failures....first
was a simple bad ground. The motor housing itself on mine grounds to
the frame...the bolts had loosened up and all that was needed was to
clean the area of contact and tighten up bolts. About 6mos later, the
relay solonoid failed...replaced with a unit from west marine that
should go another 20 years. The key here is on the prior failure (bad
ground) i heard all the right "clicks" just nothing happened (pump
motor not run). The second relay failure showed itself by trying to
use jacks, and hearing no relay clicks...

hope this helps.
