Kenwood KA 8100 Integrated Amp...No sound in left channel ?


I turned on the Amp and had no sound from left channel....and then I pressed high hz filter button.
...in and out several times...the channel came back and it is now playing fine.
Does this indicate a problem ...or just a dirty contact ?
thank you

Contact cleaner like DeOxit works well and works fast. Got my 80's receiver running like new. But, that was only 8 months ago so I cannot comment on the duration of that solution. As teo-audio mentions it might not be a long term solution but could serve as a cheap(ish) (a tiny can of DeOxit is $20...and doesn't spray well either !) stop gap solution.

I don't have the soldering skills to do the permanent job he mentioned or the money (my receiver isn't worth it) to get someone else to do it.
