Snorkel hangs, then drops when it goes about 1/2 way down. I can put pressure on the vent when it retracts and it works correctly. On its own, it hangs then drops. After removing lower access panel and blower for inspection, now the unit still hangs when going down but also continues to go up and down. It does not stop when fully up or down. Any idea what is going on? Your help is appreciated!

You are welcome Steve. I'm glad you were able to fix it and the problem was that simple.
Thank you for the feedback.
Gene.
