Yep, same issue. Forced the door open by putting my fingers in each side of the door and levering it open, with a click.
Found the tiny bit of plastic connecting the handle to latch had snapped - certainly not made to last!
I used super glue to rejoin the latch plate to the handle plate and that is working perfectly!
Just not sure how long the glue will last, so looking for a new latch/handle component now.
