lmdew Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Push the handle in and then unlock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I tried that, I can feel the lock disengage, but still can not get the handle to press all of the way so the hatch opens. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtokesalot Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 crawl in the back and take the panel off look and see whats happening. its not easy to do with the door shut but its definitely possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Try pushing hard on the door itself, whilst unlocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I got the panel off, the lever is moving down to the stop. I removed it from the handle to make sure. Still will not open. it is moving, but will not release the latch. I can not see the back side to see what is not moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whynot Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 got it, there was a piece of one of the plastic holders down in the actuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
