Slider lubrication

Does anyone have advice on lubricating the sliding door for tv cupboard above the draws across from the head. I don't have a tv and would like to use the space without have to battle with a jammed sliding door everytime.

I wish I could help; our sliding door has never been stuck unless some item inside shifts around. We don't have a TV, either.

Try Parrafin or candle wax

I wonder if a few small squirts of McLube Sailkote inside the track (or applied with a Qtip or paper towell) would work?

As a dry lubricant it may do the trick.
