[DML] Re: Door won't close

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

If it will not come unlatched then the latch was probably never 
working - that is, it was always "unlatched" when the door was 
closed. The operating rod inside the door is probably damaged or is 
disconnected. Looks like you are going to have to go door-diving to 
find out. It is not that big of a deal once you are in there - I 
seriously doubt if the latch is bent - it would take some serious 
slaming to do that.

There is a service bulletin devoted to door-lock door-latch 
adjustments (ST-10-8/81). Once the parts are working you should 
follow the steps EXACTLY. Don't get out of sequence. Once set they 
seldom get out of adjustment again.
