One of the solenoids/locking mechanisms are sticky, so the whole thing bounces on/off...

Short of taking each one apart and cleaning them, there's not much you can do.

I found (on sierras) that opening and closing doors can temporarily cure the problem, the last door you open/close before it works ok again would be the first one I clean, etc...

Good luck.
