out an hour ago I popped the spring clips off of the heater face-plate whic=
h gave me access to the back of the rheostat switch. I first verified that =
there was power to the switch and then jumped across the two posts with a s=
crewdriver. The heater motor came on full blast, telling me that the proble=
m was in the switch, which had felt a bit odd when I initially encountered =
the problem a few days ago as the "detent-like feel" when turning the fan o=
n was missing. Though I assumed I had identified the problem as being in th=
e switch I nevertheless turned the control knob just to see how it felt and=
--wonder of wonders--the fan motor immediately came on. What's more it resp=
onded perfectly to the rheostat, going from full blast to low just as it al=
ways had. </span></font><br style=3D"color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:V=
