This problem generally happens when the operator keeps changing mode while the motor is still rotating.
This causes the lock gear to round over and create a burr. This burr then stops the gear sliding on the shaft and prevents it from going into hammer mode.
All that is needed is to remove the burr or replace the gear. The hard part is getting to it, as the whole drill needs to be opened up.
