Maybe this is your problem:
I had a problem with my Global Link slam lock a few months ago where the door just flat wouldn't open. Had to send DW crawling across the cargo compartment to pop the latch tongue upwards with a screwdriver, then took it off the door and disassembled it.
Inside, I found a mechanism where a pin-arm engaged the latch retractor when you pull the latch handle. Banging around loose inside the mechanism was a short, thick plastic tube designed to sit around the pin arm and act as a sort of combination mechanism lube and shock absorber. The tube had entirely popped off the pin arm from the slamming action. Without the tube on the pin arm, there was too much slack in the mechanism to fully retract the latch.
I put a dab of stickum inside the tube and pushed it back onto the pin arm, and it's been operating properly since.
If you're going to do this, make sure you open it up over a work surface because the tube will probably fall out.
