Keep the record and choose a related task if a different symptom remains. No failed internal part has been diagnosed. - Food, grit or a heavy-soil cleaning trigger is present -> Continue to: Did the complete assembly release normally?. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. Did the complete assembly release normally? Did the complete assembly release normally? Do not probe into the opening or force the trap.
