You either have a damaged screw or carriage I would suspect.Have you tried to bring it past the problem area. Look for damage on either of these surfaces. It is possible if you had to replace the carriage then it might of done damage to the screw before it was replaced. Also look at the joints of the screws for damage or looseness. Thanks BB

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
