I have one with similar symptom (Mine is a model KV-32XBR36), that I suspect the Jungle IC, but, afraid to order one for it. Mine is NOT sizzling, it works OK for the first 15 minutes, then the lines keep getting more pronounced, until they turn into jail bars. I shot ckt. cooler under the shield of the jungle chip, and it does seem to restore normal operation for about 10 minutes. Then the lines come back, and the cycle repeats itself.
