Hey Rachel-

What happens when you work the lock-button up and down and/or use your key? The lock uses a pretty simple "rod & lever". If Rich's suggestion doesn't get it open, my advice would be to take off the inner doorpanel. This is a wicked PITA on a door that won't open- don't ask me how I know, it's too embarrasing -but it's JUST possible if you're careful and the panel is willing to flex just a bit. Next, spray PB Blaster or similar into the latch and levers, rods, etc. Another possiblity is one or more of the clips breaking or coming loose. Maybe you locked the door, and on unlocking, the frozen mechanism gave enough resistance to break or pop loose the clip?

Good luck!

Matt
