Line 4:
If then the bender has a hearable effect, but got stuck or moves to its middle very slowly, the cause can be a stuck axis of the pot. To solve this, open the hexagon screw again, and also other screws so you can disassemble the bender parts. Put a suitable contact spray (I've used WD40) onto the axis of the pot. Then turn the axis a minute or so back and forth until it's getting at least a bit more movable. After some hours the contact spray will become even more distributed by itself between the axis and the pot housing, and the pot will be easy movable.

In my case, there was cracking sound and suddenly no sound at all, because of leaked caps C11 and C12: They damaged the conductor beneath. The faulty caps had to be removed, the conductor patched with wire, and the caps replaced with same capacity and voltage (or higher voltage).
