Space heater reluctant pushbuttons

Feb 19, 2020 2 Replies

I have a space heater and the operating buttons require many pushes before they work. Anything I can do without tearing it apart? I hate to junk it as it otherwise works quite well. Perhaps a switch lubricant I can squirt into the button through the its edge separation?



Probably hopeless but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.



TIA



IDK, but a related concern is safety. When switches go bad the contact resistance can increase, creating heat and a fire hazard.

Guess it's time to buy a new one. Just checked Amazon - ~$25 Could be worse.

Thanks for heads up.
