Twice(out of about 15 times), I have flown from Michigan to Georgia
at altitudes of about 11,000 ft(cold) and had the gear not extend on
downwind(hot). The emergency extension worked.

The second time it happened, I forgot to pull the circuit breaker and
had left the gear handle in the up position. The motor started
immediately on putting the gear dump valve down. I put the gear dump
valve back up. The gear went up. When I put the gear handle down, the
gear went down.

This last happened 30 landing ago. I have not been able to repeat the problem.
