When I cleaned up mine and put it back together, mine did the same thing. Mine was because the position of the switch was off. Each switch has two small screws that hold the switch in place. On mine, I had to loosen the two screws and adjust the position of the switch because the switch was slightly positioned wrong and the ball would get stuck when it came in contact with the switch (too much pressure from the switch). Try adjusting it so that it just barely engages when the ball is making contact.
