That was my problem also. Easy fix.
I removed the inside door pull lever and mechnism.
You will see a cable. I twisted that cable in the way it spirals. It took a few rotations.
Then carefully put it all back together.
Presto! problem solved for free. That has been a few years ago and it is still just fine.

Me too. 3 times. Then I figured out the cable twist procedure. LOL

Sounds like a good idea.
It looks like some of us are talking about the door pull mechanism and others are talking about the door alignment.
