>From a distant memory Richard................., The dial moves a high tensile wire to activate the heater tap. It pulls and pushes. Problem could be: -Heater tap -Dry wire inside sheath -Kinked wire -Corroded wire
Don't be tempted to lube the wire with anything that will remain at all sticky or waxy, including a lot of silicone so-called 'dry lubricants'. Ensure the wire is routed to provide a nice angle at all dial settings, and that there aren't any clamps tightened so as to crimp the sheath against the cable. The wire is very hard/tough and difficult to bend, but equally difficult to unkink or to reshape the end. When in compression (push) and the dial is hard to turn, don't force it or you risk kinking that wire. Disconnect the cable both ends to help isolate the fault to the dial, the wire, or the tap.
