You might have debris stuck between the wier and the skimmer mouth. Or your deck or bond beam may have shifted slightly causing the wier (skimmer door) to stick. You might be able to shave a little off the sides of the wier to allow it to work.
Your skimmer door is called a weir. A weir is a pivoting flap, door or dam in a skimmer that keeps bugs and leaves from re-entering a pool or spa by collecting the debris in a basket while letting water recycle through the filter system.
The door being open.
When you open a door, you exert a force in the direction of the door's motion. This force creates torque, which causes the door to rotate around its hinges. Work is done when this force causes the door to move against resistance, such as friction between the door and the door frame.

To install a skimmer flap door, first, ensure the area around the skimmer is clean and free of debris. Align the flap door with the skimmer opening, ensuring it fits snugly. Secure it in place using screws or adhesive, following the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, test the flap to ensure it opens and closes smoothly, providing a proper seal against debris while allowing water flow.
If you have a dedicated suction for the vacuum hose (illegal in Australia) then you close the skimmer to increase suction.
