But now it won't close. It grinds when I try to push it in and makes an awful noise. I can see the front gear on the left side. It will work until a certain point, then stops and grinds, but it doesn't look like anything is blocking it or broken. Maybe if I can get it to slid past that point in the gear easily, it'll start working. I know oil probably isn't a good idea. Or is it? Any help? I have a Suggestion Get A New One!
