## Discrepancy

MAIN DOOR: UPON ARRIVING AT AIRCRAFT FOR FIRST TIME AND OPENING MAIN DOOR, I HAD TO USE TWO HANDS TO DISLODGE IT TO MAKE IT FALL NORMALLY. WHEN BRINGING DOOR UP FROM INSIDE, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAL ABOUT HALFWAY UP. UPON ARRIVING AND OPENING DOOR FROM INSIDE, I HAD TO GIVE IT A HARD PUSH TO GET IT TO FALL DOWN NORMALLY. AFTER TALKING TO MY PARTNER SHE SAID THE PREVIOUS CREW HAD MENTIONED IT WAS STICKING AS WELL. PLEASE EVALUATE. CORRECTIVE ACTION: INSPECTED FOR HARD TO OPEN MAIN CABIN DOOR , FOUND MAIN DOOR WIRE HARNESS BEING PINCHED DUE TO WIRE ROUTING CAUSING DOOR TO BE HARD TO OPEN , ALSO CAUSED WIRE HARNESS TO BE DAMAGED , ORDERED NEW WIRE HARNESS. INSTALLED NEW WIRE HARNESS ASSY CABIN THRESHOLD P/N 8469153-1 AND VERIFIED PROPER ROUTING AND PROPER DOOR OPERATION IAW CE-680A AMM 52-70-00,52-10-00 OPS CHECK GOOD
