After the control worked fine for weeks during the restoration, one day the ON/OFF wasn't switching. OK, no prob, probably needs some contact cleaner. Gave her a shot, worked the switch back and forth and 10 minutes later I tried it and it worked. 1/2 hours later, no good again. So I repeated that procedure 4 or 5 times. Same results. So with nothing to lose, I gave it a shot of WD-40. It has worked fine now for 2 days. Thoughts anyone?
