The ejector is binding and will not return by spring tension. Upon disassembly I found the ejector return spring was mangled and binding up.

I found the part online at the URL below and ordered it.

It appears to be too big. if you see my picture below I believe that the spring should seat on the ejector rod lip "A" but should slide within the clearance "B" when the ejector rod is pressed.

If it is not allowed to pass within "B" then then the spring remains full compressed and doesn't allow it to pull the ejector back in. I know this because I tried various springs I found around the house. The initial binding problem is a result of the mangled original spring getting jammed in clearance "B".

I have analyzed this for a long time and see this as the only possible way it can work. In the picture, on the far right, the original spring is top and new one bottom.

I am seeking any helpful advice. Thanks!
