Title: CCC 4 Button repair
Post by: gracerace on November 16, 2017, 08:28:47 pm
Read all the posts about repairing our 4 button CCC (Comfort Control Center). The switches listed in search, are not available any more. Found these. Took about 10 minutes on the kitchen table to install. Didn't solder them in, just took the switch apart, and installed the parts into ours. Works awesome. My friend sent his in, cost $150.00 to rebuild.

Chris & Tammy,  What a good find and simple fix.

The alternative is about $300 to switch to 5-button, which has the added advantage of not accidentally turning a/c off by changing mode when all we wanted was to change zone.

Yup, but with it working correct, it rarely does that. I am cheap...LOL

T-man if the seller sells outside of EBay he would lose his account. It is not a bad thing to be on EBay I buy many items there.

Thanks but I'm not an Ebay guy.  My daughter is a member so if I have to go through Ebay she takes care of it.

After the sale you can....And some times you can email phone numbers through ebay, some times they block it. You can get a negative for selling off ebay. I am proud of my 954 100% positive

Okay, the fix worked for years but a while back the buttons got recalcitrant again and I didn't have any new components to install. So....

I sprayed a short squirt of Deoxit D5 on each of the small switches without disassembling them.  Worked a treat.  They've been flawless for over a year.  That Deoxit is one of those magic in a can items.  Expensive but essential. Lots of other uses, and no, WD40, contact cleaner, Corrosion X et.al. is not a substitute.
