Troubleshooting list for door handles?

Anyone know if there is a "troubleshooter" for the Tesla door handles? Like, "If the door opens when the door handles present, it's likely this" or "door handle won't present"?

In my case, my 2014 Model S driver's door has a Gen 3 door handle (it was replaced 3 years ago), and it sometimes will present, sometimes not, sometimes goes part way out. Otherwise, it functions properly (e.g. door opens with pressure on it). I'd prefer not to disassemble the door twice (once to find out what is wrong, once when parts arrive), if it is pretty clear what the issue might be.
