Fever queen reels keep jerking and stopping and starting erratacally

[wallytrek]

JUst got this fever queen slot and it is just going crazy. Worked for about 10 minutes then the stop buttons would not function it would stop on its own after 30 seconds. Finally got the reset to work it ran for another 5 minutes not the reels jerk and stop and start then errors. I have given up. Does anyone know what the problem is with the reels? Machine starts off ok untill you hit the reel knob then all 3 lower reels jerk and start and stop spinning till the machine errors. I have a hard time resetting it also. Help Help?

for starters, with the machine shut off, unplug and reseat all your connections ,

you can spray contact cleaner around the stop buttons to clean them too.

then turn it on and do a full reset

It does act like dirty or loose onnections on the start knob and the reel stop buttons.Do what luckydog suggests and go from there.
