I had this problem with my 1900AE. There was a buildup of hard crud under the lever, which kept the lever (it acts as its own spring) from engaging the cut in the frame properly.

I had to strip the frame down and drive the pin out of the frame (from the inside) to get the lever out and scrape away the crud. When put back together, it worked admirably.

I'm am lucky it was so simple to fix, as I am mentally challenged.
