pd-150 dial wheel Can't Post

Hello everyone, lately I've been noticing that my dial wheel has been acting a little quirky. When I'm dialing with the manual controls and also within the menu, the dial wheel sometimes changes the control when I just touch it at times, it sort of flickers the controls up and down. Kind of hard to explain .. for example, when I'm in manual mode, I'll have the gain selected at 3db. When I just touch the wheel it will flip up to 6db and immediately return to 3db or sometime stay on 6db, kind of like it's confused ??? Very strange. It feels like the dial maybe needs a cleaning or it's just plain messed up.
Has anyone ever experience anything like this?
Should I do a 'reset'? With electronic equipment in the past, I would have to sometime do a reset to get things back to normal. Kind of like re-booting windows. I've never done one on the pd-150, anything I should know before attempting one?
Thanks in advance!
Frank

A reset won't help. You'll need to have the switch block control (1-476-183-11) The part will cost $51.54 plus about 1 - 2 hours in labor for someone qualified.
