Sideshift moves by itself

Why would sideshift move to left automatically, would it be cause a pot in handle going bad or could other things cause this?

Two possible reasons for this: 1) the thumb wheel is not returning to neutral (stuck, doesn't not move freely) 2) the accessory pot needs replacing.
