Kevin, 5 seconds sounds like the reel sensor to me, however these
machines can be quirky. It is possible that cleaning the mode switch
isn't good enough and a new one is needed- I've had that happen but not
sure it was similar model. Also check the 3 pin regulators, 7805, 7806,
7809 whatever is in the circuit. Center LED is another possiblity.
