Hi, I had the same problem a while back on my 53 plate.
You have to take the door card off. Its tricky but it's do-able, but don't rush it.

From memory, you'll find three or four screws along the bottom edge of the plastic door card - you have to literally laydown on the florr with a torch to see them. Unscrew them and any others more visible and then you'll need to GENTLY lever the door card around its edges to prize it away from its fixings - dont tug it, ease it gently or it might snap - not good !
When you get the door card off, you'll find a piece of plastic which operates the lever mechanism which may well have either broken or become 'unhooked' .
Didn't replace mine, made a repair using elastic band and twisted wire ! not been back into the door since !
Hope this helps at least gets you to a point where you can get inside to the workings.
Paul

Is it a manual or electric door?
