Can someone point me to a web breakout of how to fix what maybe a spring problem (?) in my Rocky...?

Doser no longer forwards doser tray (doesn't 'catch' and forward); handle still springs back but handle in not controlling tray.

Thank you, in advance, for ideas...

Mine messes up from time to time.  Usually I can just smack the handle and it starts working again.  If that doesn't work, try spinning the vanes inside the doser clockwise and then try the handle again.

If that doesn't help, maybe someone else know about the guts.  I looked at mine but the doser mechanism is underneath where I can't see it without disassembling the unit.

Thks for reply...

Past smacking stage (no effect now) and have taken off main screw on doser chamber, taking off top plastic half of doser (star) and metal plate...

However, once screw comes off there seems no way to release bolt and take apart entire chamber.

Down there somewhere is my problem.
