Hi,

I have a KLH model KD-1220 DVD player. The disc tray will not stay
open. Note: I was in consumer electronics service for many years.

The only way I can insert a disc or remove it, is by turning off the main
power switch on the front panel right after the tray is fully open.

I searched the web, but there were no solutions for this specific
problem.

Did anyone have this exact problem and repaired it?

Thank You in advance, John

I am not familiar with that model, but most units have a switch that
senses when someone pushes on the tray and then activates the closing
action. Could that switch be out of alignment or broken? Just a
guess.

there is generally a crappy leaf type switch to sense with the door is
open. try burnishing it with some paper.

does the unit open all the way, then pause and close or just close
instantly? It may have no idea when it reached end of travel.
