It is most likely that the encoder must be replaced to correct that
behavior.

The VFO B encoder is a thru-hole part and can be replaced if you have
good de-soldering tools and work very carefully so you do not damage
anything else around it or damage the board or the SMD parts that are in
close proximity to the encoder solder pads.
Reverse the steps in the assembly manual to tell you how to get to the
encoder and front panel board.  Make careful note of the screw size and
length in each place you remove a screw.

If doing that gives you pause, then let the techs at Elecraft handle it
for you - it will be worth the price.  Contact support to initiate the
RSA process.
If you just want to purchase the encoder and do it yourself, you can
contact [hidden email] directly.
