High, I had a g5500 which did exactly this. Turned out to be rusted and shattered bearings. How on earth SS Balls go rusty I have no idea.

I'm having a strange problem with my old 5400. Suddenly the AZ control just freezes. Manual or automated control is not possible. If I turn the control box off for a short time ad then back on both manual and auto control returns and it works fine until the cycle starts again and it freezes. Very frustrating!
