My best advise to you, and ANY one that has an inoperative electric product of any kind is to turn it off, or, better yet, unplug it, as it could "run itself to death", or worse, catch fire!! After that, if you have "electro-mechanic" skills, purchase the service manual, and trouble shoot the machine. If you don't have those skills, it's best to call a "pro". A good place to look for one is the local phone book, and the nearest "Big" city's book. Another source is http://www.flippers.com where you will find a "list'. Good luck--Ron Rich

Sympathy for you, I have the same problem but the husband was tinkering with it !!! An expert has been called to rectify.

Warning Mam,
Do you know what an "expert" is ??
An "ex" is a "former" (think of "boyfriend"), and a "spert" is just a little "drip"--Good luck ! Ron Rich
