[DML] Re: Door won't close

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This will probably involve opening up the door and unlatching it
manually. If you are having this problem you will probably have to go
over ALL the door linkage adjustments inside anyway. It is a very
involved procedure. When you remove the panels covering the inside of
the door cover all the exposed edges of the S/S with duct tape so you
don't cut yourself all up. This happens because the door gets forced.
The door is not supposed to be lockable unless BOTH front and rear
latches are in the second locked position. If one or both are not and
you force the door to be locked it stretches and bends the linkages.
The procedure is in the Workshop Manual. It is also possible a linkage
to the lock has falen off so it is not unlatching. In any case you
will have to go inside the door. After you get the door adjusted you
may have to readjust the door locking pins. Trying to close the door
when it is latched already may have knocked the pin out of alignment.
