LOTR: Can someone confirm this?

Hum, sounds like an issue with the interlock relay, it shouldnt be firing
like that unless you pull out on the switch after you have opened the door.
The sound bits you are hering are ball saves bacause the door was open when
the ball went back into the trough.

My only point with this is that the ball saver sound shouldn't be repeating
ad-nauseum once you're in the diagnostics menus.
