Had the same problem door opens from inside only, the problem was a broken cable but I couldn't manage to find a replacement cable so had to buy a new carrier that comes with the cable,
It took me around 2 to 3 hour to fit the new carrier as I had a problem with the door lock alinement ,
Not a hard job and next time I reckon i could do it in around 1.1/2 hr,

It's actually out-of-date. This is what you would have done, when we had the old GUI. I'll update it on the PC as soon as poss.
