    Kcity74​  The object can become stuck, especially if you saved/quit/reloaded while it was in use, or if a sim using it became reset or even was just told to do something else at exactly the wrong time.  That's when buying a new one helps.

    When it doesn't help, often there's a leftover jig in front of the object.  The easy test is to move the object elsewhere—if it works, there's something wrong with the space it was in.  Jigs are invisible but can be found with an NRaas MasterController Radius Purge.  One hint that one is there is that you can't click on the floor where it is.

Kcity74​  As mentioned, if the problem is that the interactive item is stuck, it can be replaced, and if there's an unrelated item in the way (a plate or similar), you may be able to delete it directly or by deleting the surface or floor underneath.

If the problem is an invisible jig, the only way to remove it without mods is to save the house in Edit Town, then bulldoze and replace it.  That is of course not convenient for multiple reasons.

If you don't like mods in principle, that's fine, but if you simply don't want them to affect your game, MasterController does nothing at all until and unless you use it to issue a command.  It otherwise has no effect other than adding an NRaas menu to objects when you click them.
