Make sure if it is equipped with a child safety lock on the inside of door jamb below or above the latch is unlocked. If that is ok then check to be sure the cable or rod to the interior handle is properly connected to the latch, remove door panel and if you can't see it directly you may have to use a mirror and flashlight to see if all is connected if so work the interior door handle while looking at all moving parts and tracking down where it is not doing it's function.
Only way is to get a coat hanger and make a small hook on one end and try to slide it between the window and door panel and try to hook the door latch from inside the door.
with the door open see if latch is stuck in close position . If so hold handle open and pry with screwdriver to open latch ..If that works latch needs to be lubed for smooth operation
This is a real problem, it sounds like your latch has broken. the only way to get the door open is to cut a hole in door to get to the latch and replace the door. Sorry for the bad news, you could try removing the case inside but that will get destroyed also and you still cant get to the latch.
DRIVER OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN DOOR. FROZE UP IN ICE STORM AND APPEARED TO BREAK WHEN TRIED TO OPEN DOOR. INSIDE HANDLE STILL WORKS. IS DIY REPAIR FEASIBLE?
Either the handle is broken inside the door, or the clip that holds the actuating rod is broken. If it either of these is shouldnt take any more than an hour to fix.
