How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before mechanical repairs.
- Inspect latch: Examine the upright lock at the base of the handle. Look for broken plastic tabs or worn teeth.

- Replace spring: If the latch does not engage firmly, the return spring may be missing or weak and should be replaced.
