Jerry I have had 2 failed encoders and am waiting for the second replacement. In my case, it was not due to any shorts occurring although I believe Elecraft are now advising the fitting of an adhesive rubber insulating pad behind VFO B encoder. Looks like they had a bad batch from the manufacturer, Bourns.
Tom G3OLB I had a bad encoder assembly in the K3 I assembled recently - I proved it by swapping A and B encoders and observing the problem switch with it. Elecraft shipped me a new one which fixed it (after much sweat replacing it - that front panel removal is a PITA). I suspect Elecraft is not checking the encoders before shipping them to us.
