You need to replaced the thermistor. It can cause intermittent purity problems.

The centre is black and white and the edges are multi-colored. I repaired one obvious bad connection on the degaussing thermistor (little black box) the first time, and 1 not so obvious bad connection the second time. Shortly after the second repair the same symptoms returned in the customer's home. It is like the degaussing circuit is not connected. Has anyone come across a problem like this? Every part in the degaussing circuit checks good. What am I missing?
