Default Auto Hold Pneumatic Door Closer Issue

Have AutoHold brand pneumatic door closers top and bottom which normally holds my storm door open when pushed past 80 degrees, Press to about 90 degrees and it is supposed to release. It is stuck open.

Any easy fixes to suggest?

Disable the auto hold on the shock, close and open a few times and reset it. Should work again. Someone probably tried to tug the door closed without pushing it the rest of the way open.

Try pushing the door open a bit farther and holding it there for a bit .that should release it.
