Sorry for asking this question but are the locks engaged? Had to be asked.
Second, sometimes the dump valve extension coupler gets caught on the sheet metal, happens to me all the time. Take a flashlight and make sure that is not the cause. If neither of these is the problem your valve gaskets have stuck to you gate slide and the only way to fix this is persistance. Try pushing in on it then pulling out to breake the seal loose. When you get it open use some "Dump Valve lubricant" on it. Chances are your gaskets will be ruined and won't seal again. Time for a replacement or a valve repair kit. Good luck
