Volume Control Potentiometer Cleaning

The grease often messes these things up - remove it with contact cleaner like DeoxIT D5 and it tends to solve the issue permanently. However, if it has been abused the switch may need to be replaced. I got mine for free and fixed it with a can of contact cleaner.

I bet that the sensor on this is clogged with dust or lint and cannot detect the beam interruption by rotating the control. Take the cover off and use canned or compressed air to clean the area aaround the volume control. I have also had this happen with a different unit (A Sony compact stereo).
