It could be the solenoid is pulling partially.  You can also close the latch 
with the door up with a screwdriver.  Then see if the solenoid releases it. 
If not, you can release it with the safety latch handle.  Then remove the 
door panel you can see the solenoid and if it actually pulls fully and 
releases the latch.  I had a similar problem and removed the solenoid and 
squirted WD-40 on the shaft and worked it back an forth.  Reinstalled the 
solenoid and it has been working fine for several years.
