Sounds like your pneumatic system is working fine, if it trips the ejector spring.
But your door latch (which is adjustable) is jammed or not lifting, since when in fine tune the door will unlatch & open first with the motor running and in a few seconds, as the suction dies down only then does the spring release and eject the bag. Easy to fix. Could simply be fine dust clogging the bleed inside the intake port, or lining the clear hose from the door innards through the hinge to the pneumatics & levers inside the base. Quite often the wells under the rubber diaphragms are packed with dust powder which will restrict their full play and movement. There are NO glued gaskets in there; everything is held together airtight with clamps and pressure plates. Easy to remove and service. Check this link for a painless overhaul tutorial.
