Xnke Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Call Vintage air and ask. I've bought parts from them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerstar Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Is it a knob, is it the actual electrical component that's bad? We need some more info here. If it's electrical open it up and start researching what it is. You can probably find a replacement from a p/n and solder it in. It could also be a bad solder joint, corrosion (doubt it), etc. Help us help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATA Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Good point, just a few moments ago a friend give me the direct phone # for Vintage Air, I was able to buy just the ''switch'' for 10$ and do my fix, I will post this mini adventure , now the plan is to replace the temperature switch and paint the unit black Edited February 13, 2013 by PLATA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATA Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Got the switch today, as soon as the weather clears I will do the fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
