It almost sounds like a loose ground wire on either the door emitter optic or the cabinet-side receiver optic -
check those Molex connections.
The reels spinning can vibrate the reel shelf and door optics enough to cause intermittent contact.

Also, check and make sure that when the door handle is fully depressed downwards when closed -
the door optics must be lined up properly so that they "see" each other.

check and see if the cash door switch has been bypassed. this could cause the same results.

Also check the white molex connector going from the power supply to the motherboard. If it's burnt (common problem), it can cause the machine to be intermittent.

You can always run the clear again and start all over.

Ok, the default setting is usually for the bill validator to follow the cash/credit button. So if it's set to cash, it will make change. If set to credit, it will add credits.

No setting will make the machine cycle (i.e. reboot).

If you tell us what game chip (SPxxxx) it has, we can help you get any of the settings the way you want them. (i.e. bills always go to credit)
