Hi there!

I'm a noob as well who bought a MB recently, and perhaps my issue is something similar described above, but honestly I'm not entirely sure.

After two months of play my Frank mech crank started to get stuck after the Frank multiball.
The exact symptom is the following (these are the repro steps as well):
- The up/down bank goes down
- Frank comes down
- Frank goes back to horizontal position
- The up/down bank doesn't come up and I can hear the motor making a noise while exerting

And it's basically because the crank gets stuck at the top of the micro switch (See Picture 1) and I have to push it a little so it just goes to the position where it supposed to be (Picture 2) and then everything works again. It only does this when the playfield is in playing position, so I can't really check what's really going on when I raise the playfield, but my guess is that perhaps Frank is too loose or something.

Any hints what should I check, what might cause the problem, etc?

Thank you in advance!

P.s. Let me know if you need more pics about the mech.
