RayPak R406A rocker switch

[slowpoketx]

Hello,

Went to turn on our RayPak R406A heater and the rocker switch was stuck. Could not turn on/off. Assuming the switch needs to be replaced. Has anyone replaced the switch and how easy? Have looked online on how to replace with no luck.

Thanks,
Alan

It looks to me like you will need to replace the complete control panel.

I have the old school analog verision of this heater and the switch replacment is trivial if you can find the same sized rocker switch. On my heater, the switch simpley snaps into the control panel and has a few wires on the backside that go to the gas valve. Not sure about the digital version since I don't know where the switch is or what it is connected to on the back side.

Thanks for the replies. Found an older thread below on here mentioning to try WD-40. Sprayed inside the switch with WD-40 and left over night. Looks like that did the trick.

Raypak heater switch stuck in "off" position

We have a Raypak 2100 digital heater for our pool. It has been working fine, but last night when we tried to start it up the main power switch was stuck in the off position (we physically can't push the switch down to switch it on). Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Does this suggest the switch...
