Kodiak MkIII heater switch
My heater switch went south yesterday. Started smoking and then died. TerriAnn's website details the unit as being american made by a company called Cole in the Boston area. It is suppose to function as all the way in, off, 1st position out, low, and full out, high. My unit was reversed as the middle position was high, and the full out position was low. When I removed the unit it is stamped ARK-LES (U.S.A). The company is still in biz, and located in MA. - same company?
Attachment 490
The 20A fuse is removed. It was toast, but I'm not sure this occurred during the initial failure, or when I got some sparking when I was sticking a screw driver around the area.
Are there any replacement parts available for this unit? I really want to keep the switch setup as it matches the temp and air flow knobs. TerriAnn indicated that it can be rebuilt, but I really don't want to go that route. It's pretty smelly and I can only imagine the damager inside the little black box.
