Handle replaced but door sticking shut when rehung??
I finally got the handle replaced and working. Had similar issues as others with the puzzle of spring (In this case - an old Hoover hnl6166- putting the door back together created the force acting on the spring to keep lock pushed out and handle as mechanism to release) BUT on rehanging the door it is extremely difficult to open again? Its like the handle doesnt depress enough to release the catch?? But the glass bowl is also rubbing past the seal when closing so it seems all misaligned perhaps?! Worried I will end up breaking the new handle AND the catch. Any ideas what's likely be causing the problem?

If you have removed the hinge during repair check its height and position is correctly adjusted.
