The top goes down and stops where it should, it's when it goes up it doesn't stop in the correct position

you will need to physically test the switch.
first, you will have to find it unfortunately not an easy task.
locate the wires coming out of the switch, and follow it to the connector.
disconnect the switch from the connector, and put a voltmeter between the two wires.
set the voltmeter to the buzzer position, and press/release the switch with your finger.
the peeping from the voltmeter should turn on/off accordingly.
if it doesn't beep at all, or it beeps at all time, then it means the switch is bad, and needs to be replaced.
im almost positive that is your issue, but i wouldn't throw a $80 part without testing it first. (yes that's what this sucker cost)
if the switch will test to be fine, then we need to get into all the adjustment procedure.
