We have a 2013 Salem forest River travel trailer. Model 30QBSS. Last fall our slide worked perfectly, but when we pushed the button to close the slide out gif the winter nothing happened. No sound with the motor and the slide didn’t move. Our fuse panel doesn’t show a fuse labeled for the slide out. Where do we find it?

Are you plugged into shore power? Dead batteries ? Sounds like a power issue IMHO. Good luck
 
I would start by checking for power at the switch. If you have 12v+ there, make sure you have power coming out of the switch. If so, check at the slide out motor for power. If there, the motor has failed, if no power to the motor there most likely is a controller somewhere that has failed.
 
"Yes everything else in the camper is working" - so I assume that to mean 120V stuff.
12v lights will run on a weak battery but the draw of the slide may not work on a weak battery. I would put a meter on the batterie(s) and then watch it as someone presses the in/out switch.
I agree with scooter and would bet it's a bad battery, even if it's plugged in.
