    Default stuck door buttons on machine base

    Anybody else have this issue? It's happened a couple of times to mine and I can't remember what I did to get them back open.

    push in on the bottom of the latch and the lever will pop out.

    I installed foam / rubber door bumpers on the inside jamb door stop on each door to mitigate rattles and give doors a positive but flexing latch adjustment . Because of this I tend to need to press the door in slightly and then unlock latch . If yours are done different this might not help. Anyway I would advise doing this to avoid setting latches real tight and also kills all the rattles.

    Yeah pushing on the bottom open button isn't working. I think I tightened it maybe a tad too tight to avoid the rattle, and now it is haunting me. Good advice MD.

    a piece of wood dowel and a sharp lick may do it.

    Thanks MD I may use that idea!

    Maybe push and hold the door, then push the latch. It could be just a really tight fit.

    You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.

    I haven't messed with them further but I did try putting some weight against it to relieve the pressure off the latch, but still nothing. I got irritated with it and moved to other stuff like actually running the machine. I will give it another go later.
