An additional note, I always use a brush to scrub out the slot to make sure it's clear, and then I use a scraper or my thumbnail and run it along the inside and outside edges of al the light blockers, then scrub them with a stiff brush. I do this every harvest or about every 10-14 days.

Also make sure you are scrubbing the top 1" of the screen with a stiff brush (I use a grout & tile brush) to make sure there is no growth forming.

I don't think either of these are the cause of your issue. It might be a stage in the re-start of the screen, hard to say. Keep us posted
