[DeTomaso] help with disassembled heater on/off switch

[Christopher Kimball]

Wow--that's more than generous, thanks!

I'm pretty sure the white plastic part is as it should be, and even if not, the two larger rubber seals look in pretty good shape and I have some rubber reconditioner I can use on them just to make sure.

The tiny seal is the problem.  If you can remember where you got yours, I'll order a couple myself since that's all I need for the thing to work again.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Chris

Hi Chris
 
I rebuilt mine last year. I had a hard time finding the 
tiny seal you're talking about and the O ring should be Gycol proof too. Not 
many O rings are. My valve is back together so I can't look at the white plastic 
part for you, but if you send me a good large photo of the part, I'll offer you 
my opinion. If your valve is actually repairable, I'll go looking for the parts 
you need. I think I bought a spare seal because it was so hard to find the right 
ones.

That is exactly the one.  I think all I need is the tiny, 
  rubber washer thing through which the "L" shaped rod 
  slides.

PS:  The 
  while plastic part appears to have a crack in the side, but upon closer 
  examination, it looks like it's a small slit that is supposed to be 
  there.  Does yours have the same tiny gap in it?

    Is this what your valve looks 
like?
