I had an Intermatic wall timer switch for ten years, except I removed it a bit last year trying two versions of dewstop.com which were either too sensitive in the summer or not sensitive enough in the winter. About a month ago it started gitting stuck about halfway. I replaced it with one labelled Woods last night. That one worked fine at 20min, but got stuck at 30min and
60 min. THe last time I did get it to work fine by removing the faceplate addition, which did not seem to get stuck. Also, the lock nut in the middle didn't fit, so we didn't install it. We used an "old fashioned" plastic switch plate. So I then just set the old Intermatic one without power and it got stuck halfway again. So the old one didn't die because we re-fastended the front too tight. Do the springs have some sort of winding method? I'm wondering if the problem is systemic? Obviously they don't use power for the spring, so the fan can't be to blame. So, what is?- = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist
