Narrative

The #1 Elevator would stop 1 foot short of the landing. The car would not return to the top. EE found dirt in the bottom door track preventing the bottom door from closing all the way. This caused a poor connection of the bottom door lock. EE cleaned the bottom door track and the door lock contacts. The car was tested and returned to service at 7:19pm
