Hello

I have this model too. When i had to open it up for a repair I found it
very "fussy" as to whether it worked properly when I put it back
together. Sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Took 2 or 3 attempts to
get it right.

Solution was to EXACTLY and SLOWLY follow the technical directions for
disassembly & reassembly.

I have a tech. manual in PDF form if you need it. Don't think it has a
schematic though.
