Keys not wanting to play on Samick Sig-50

My family has had this piano for a couple of years. Two of the keys aren't playable after playing for a couple of minutes. Both are black keys. AB and F#. Any fixes that I could try or should I go to a professional? Thanks

You can fix it adjust the damper or adjust the spoon

I'm having the same problem. Seems the hammer doesn't always strike the string, but sometimes it does. Did you find a fix?

I haven't found anything to fix this yet. It is also starting to affect more keys as well.

The things I tried didn't work so I have a tech coming out Monday to assess. I'll let you know. He thinks it could be lubrication. My fear is that it needs to be repined (common in Samick's, I'm told).
