[QUOTE="John G, post: 917800, member: 63360"] Okay, I found the problem and a fix. As I mentioned in my original post, the problem seemed to center on the plastic roller wheel in the lower hinge assembly -- this is part of the detente mechanism for holding the door part-way open. My wheel had developed a flat spot. That's the problem. The fix was simple -- when the door was wide open, just use my finger to turn the plastic roller wheel a bit so that a different part of it would make contact. I'm posting this in case it turns out to be useful to anybody else who searches for the same problem. [/QUOTE]
