Autothrottle "clicks out"

Regarding some earlier post about the auto throttle i would just like to mention the fact that i have experieced on 737-800 aircrafts how the auto throttle "clicks out". The so called "auto throttle arm switch" leaves its armed postion and goes to off. It does this without any warning. If this would happen during an ILS app while reducing speed, it might well go unnoticed and lead to a stall.
