| Do you have to play with your air conditioning control switch to make the system operate? Is the control lever sloppy? Do you sometimes hear a slight hissing sound? All of these symptoms are related to the air conditioning control head assembly. This assembly is held together by a small plastic clip and metal spring washer. After 20+ years of use, the switch and lever become very loose forcing the owner to hunt for each stop in the switch. Sometimes the plastic clip breaks causing the switch to separate which will cause the air conditioning controls not to operate. The repair is very simple. Start by contacting Zip Products, Inc., 8067 Fast Lane, Mechanicsville, VA 23111, (800) 962-9632. They have new air conditioning control head switches in stock along with new control dials. The repair is very simple and the only tools needed are a few Phillips screwdrivers. Our Project 77’s air conditioning control head was broken so it was a prime candidate for the repair. Follow along as we replace the control head and control dial. |
