Re: What have you fixed lately?

I had to get the quick commissioning manual for the temperature contoller to know how to set it up as the 7-segment display "messages" are a bit cryptic.

I have it set as on/off with +/- 0.4C limits. Setpoint is 5C. Works a treat and the fridge is nice and cold. Might even be the fix as thermostats are expensive and digital control is more precise.

A friend asked me to look at a digital time switch as it had stopped switching the lamp he has it on.

Electronics looks fine but the front switch seemed very slack. On test it didn't switch at all. Prised out the rocker and the tube on the bottom of the rocker had broken off inside so the spring wasn't pressing properly on the contact strip to give the "toggle" action and contact pressure to close the circuit.

Some super-glue reinforced with Araldite effected a fix.
