When my KAT500 started acting strange I opened it up. There are two thick, green insulated wires that cross each other on the PCB, and the top one had sagged down and got close enough to the bottom one that it had arced through the insulation. I'm guessing I had a less than optimal match! Anyway after consulting support, I gently separated the two lines and put a double layer of electrical tape between to hopefully prevent recurrence.
