The switch has on each side plastic arms. To remove you need to depress the arms on each side. When replace with the new one, you just push it in, and it will snap in.

There are two squeeze fittings on each short side of switch, after unplugging the wires attached to it, I used a flat head screw driver to depress one side. It was very easy.

Look very carefully at the switch body. There is a wire diagram cast into the plastic. Should you need further help, I can look at my switch and add additional information if needed.

Well, I can appreciate your request. Mine also broke, and I found that the interior fit of the knob was all plastic. Got to love this Chinese stuff. Anyway, I used some 2-part epoxy to glue it back on and it is working OK. Too bad about the knob, the switch seems to work fine.

If it appears to be a problem with the switch, just get a new one and replace it. It does not cost as much as the hassle you will have messing around with the old one! A simple phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed to do the job.

I remember this happened to me, too. what I did was to pull out as far as I can then cut the tape off and snapped it in to replace the old one. It got to be a better way to handle it but I couldn't find instruction any about it so that how i did it.

It's been a looong time since I had the item. You are looking at the bottom. There should be a cover, either flip up, slide off or held in place with a small screw. hope this helps

I just took a look at mine and what I would do is, carefully, pry it open with my pocket knife. I'm not sure what the two studs on either side of the power switch are but try and figure that out by peeking into the box once you have the knife inserted. Once you get it apart the circuit inside is gonna be hecka simple. You may need to do some saudering but if you can't figure it out you didn't lose anything. Also, make sure that the plugs for the little cable are free of debris so the contacts can seat properlly.

If you are referring to the cover- yes. I used a regular cover for this switch.

I think you mean you closed the plastic cover that covers the keypad and can't get it open? Same happened to me; the little tab at the top even broke off. I used a large screwdriver between the cover and the wall, up near the top where the tab is/was, and pried it away from the wall. The cover just pops off, and I've left it off. Now that the construction on our house is done and the workers don't need to get in so often, I've changed the code and am considering putting the cover back on. (It simply snaps on.) But that means that whenever someone has to use the code, they'll have to pry the cover off again, perhaps with a car key. A bit of a design fault, I think.

On the back of the unit, there is a small cover the size of a quarter held by 2 screws. You may need a small pocket knife or flat head screw driver to remove the cover. It has a rubber ring to seal it to keep out water. Once uncovered, you will see a small red switch box that has 2 switches. Move the #2 switch (or right side) to the on (or up) position and this will change from C to F.Good Luck!

No. The covers are not replaceable - they are permanently glued onto the switch assembly.

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

I thought mine was broke also. I tapped it in my hand and squeezed it while it was open. I'm thinking its something in the on/off switch. Once its on, it stays on though.

The switch is protected (hidden somewhat) under that foggy plastic cover. The cover is located to the left of the choke, and you have to just push that cover to ON or OFF. Very difficult to see through the cover if it's on or off.

When it stops sliding, pull the cover straight out. It only slides a little, then you have to pull it out. Hope this helps......Jim

The exact model is on a sticker well inside the unit and believe it or not the number is not listed in the Owners manual. I didn't have time to open it up before leaving for work this morning but I'll look tonight and if someone else hasn't already given you the answer, I'll answer it then.Well, I took the outside cover and the inside protection cover off and did not see either of the numbers that you gave. However, there is a rather large Disconnect Switch right there in front of the box on the right hand side. So the switch that came with mine definitely has the service disconnect installed in it. Let me know if you want me to email you a picture. The exact model is on a sticker well inside the unit and believe it or not the number is not listed in the Owners manual.

I have used one for over 10 years and even bought a back up in case - our cat refuses to use the new style - she is a main coon and set in her ways - on yours - sounds like the switch is stuck or fried in the on position - check out or repair the switch. good luck to you
