Use the switch to roll it back down 1/2 way then see what's up ~ I find these occasionlly just fall loose from the door and only need some 6MM flat washers , screws & flange nuts to set right again .
I see the DPO left a Carpenter's Hammer inside the door..... =8-) .
It is good to see it back on the road again .
