Possibly a crack in the carbon trail inside the pot. That carbon trail the wiper moves against to adjust the volume. If the break is near the ground end, you can get loud volume when it goes open. You would have to replace the pot. Or if you are really handy you might be able to transplant a good trail into the existing pot (if it's a hard to find combo of volume and contrast and power switch control).
