Craftsman 88733 - Issue

I have a Craftsman 88733, 33" walk behind lawn mower, but no owners manual. Since I can not seem to find one any where I'll ask my question. When you hold in the blade control lever, the rear wheels are free moving, so you can turn, etc. Last week when I was mowing my lawn, that feature ceased to work, forcing me to keep feathering the throttle control in order to turn. Does anyone know why this happened and more importantly, how do I fix it?!
