I have seen several references to a cable in the door between the lock and the door latch which is a problem which I will investigate.

In searching once again for a solution, I saw this and can share a workaround I have been living with: I found if you insert the key into the door lock, rotate it as though you were unlocking the door and while still rotated, lift the door handle. The door will open, even though the button never pops up.

I have been reluctant to try some of the proposed solutions without some confidence they will actually resolve the problem - the method above lets me open the door for now...
Hello!

Have you tried my solution? I bet the cable needs to be tied away
