Typically, this is caused by magnetized coil stops/plungers.
If it "sticks", but you can make it unstick with light upward pressure...there is a good chance that something is magnetized.

Disassemble.
Hold the coil bracket in one hand.
Strike it crisply with a glancing blow with something metallic like a steel rod.
This "knocks" the magnetism out of it. Sounds weird, I know...but it works.

You can do the same for the plunger, but be careful to not dent the part of it that pulls into the coil sleeve.
