Common root cause: Accumulation of dust or dirt in the internal mechanism of the tape.
Step-by-step solution: With the tape fully retracted, clean the outer casing with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of spray lubricant (like WD-40) into the tape opening and operate the mechanism a few times.
