tri-foam stuck on 1 color

When any SS bay activates the trifoam gun the 3 colors start generating in a sequence of yellow-red-blue. After about 2 cycles it stays on yellow. It seems like only the yellow solenoid is clicking/activating after this point? Is this just a matter of perhaps cleaning out the other solenoids and checking for some kind of debris? It seems strange that it works fine for the first few cycles.
 
Does it stay on yellow continuously or does it spray yellow and then a pause for the two missing colors and then yellow again?

had same problem happen to me. I changed out 3 color timer but still did not solve the problem. It was in the coil to the solenoid that is stuck. Give it a try and let us know if it correct the problem.

Thanks Jeff
 
The SS unit is from Jim Coleman. There really is no noticeable pause in the color switching when it is stuck on yellow. I will try to take apart the solenoids and clean them during a slow period. I will let you know.

Thanks.
