Steadicam Air 15 Monopod. “won’t compress”

The Steadicam Air15 monopod is supposed to compress to 28 inches. When I first got the unit, the footpedal on the bottom did work as described and would hold the monopod at any height.

Now the valve will not hold the monopod compressed. I push down on the foot pedal compress the monopod take my foot off and the monopod returns to full height.

I hoping someone might know a DIY fix for this or be familiar with this product. The monopod is new with very little use.

The camera store that I bought the monopod from did replace the unit.
