I was having problems with my fan heater not working so finally decided to pull the switch out and have a look at it. I did test to see how far the electricity was going and that way worked out the problem was in the switch. Connected a wire from battery to fan motor and it worked. Well, the problem was that the contacts were all covered in crap. I gave it a clean and light sand with fine sandpaper, reassembled it and it works again. I have included a few pictures if anyone was interested.



It was a pain in the backside to get out.

First I had to remove the knobs.


The face comes of easy as it just clips on.


Then I had to unscrew the whole assembly (4 screws) so I could get the switch out. I also threw a bit of grease at it so now the knobs slide nicely across again. Hopefully someone else has been wondering how to solve this particular problem.
Life is wonderful

Mine's doing the same thing...I think the days of just spraying WD40 in are done ..... just another job on the list. Nice write up :beer
