If you look at the diagram:
the rearward force of #17 on the valve sear (#14) wants to push #14 down. When the pistol is cocked, the top end of the trigger sear (#15) prevents #14 from pivoting down. Once the trigger sear is released, the force of #14 on the angle at the top of #15 should push that to the rear, releasing the valve sear. The spring on #15 should help, but I'm not sure that it is essential. It depends on the exact angles & how smooth & lubricated things are. That spring isn't very strong to begin with.
If #15 isn't pivoting back to release #14, either there isn't enough rearward force from #17 to make #14 slide down the ramp at the top of #15, or possibly there is too much friction on the ramp at the top of #15. That could be caused by wear, a burr, or inadequate lubrication.
