Mk4 Loses Z-axis calibration after filament change

I have a very annoying problem with my Mk4.  If I do a filament change or occasionally just try to print a file, it loses Z-axis calibration.  Z-axis will attempt to determine the upper limit, which it completes.  It then descends about 1/3 of the way and stops.  It now repeats a cycle of slow down/fast up and comes back with an error "obstruction detected".  Only way to fix this is a hard reset followed by auto-home.  If I ask it do repeat the Z-axis calibration, it fails.

Where should I look?  I've carefully checked the print head, and don't see any obstruction.  It prints fine after this; it just loses calibration fairly often.

Thanks.

Make sure the cable bundle isn't hitting anything, check for debris in the lead screws.

Cheerio,

I observed that a couple of times. And everything the filament somehow did „stop“ the extruder. 
somehow the filament was hard to pull in those cases.
