We cleaned the plate and sprayed a little WD40.
See picture.

You probably need to remove the sliders and lubricate the wheels directly. They end up getting all gummed up over time. We had to do this will the sliders in our villa. The wheels were not moving it all on one. I had to use pliers to get them to turn at first. Once freed up, I cleaned then lubricated the bearing and wheels. Now the doors open and close as they should.
It's really not that big of a job, but you need a helper and something to lay the door on that's high enough you can work on the bottom. You will have to remove the fixed door first to get the moving door off so do it on a cool morning.
