    Hi All,

    Found a new issue today. When pressing the recirculation button, it will not stay pressed in. It lights when pressed, then as I lift my finger I can feel it try to grab but it can't quite hold itself in place and it goes back into full out position and the light goes off. I'm assuming it's a mechanical issue with the switch itself. Anyone seen this issue before and found a fix? I would think the switch internals are the same as the STOP button which works fine.

    Thanks

    Haven't heard of any cheap easy fixes. I know someone somehow managed to find a new circuit board for his F355 panel, but you'd have to first confirm whether it was the button or the switch base on the board that was faulty.

    I don't think the switch bases have any identifying numbers on them.

    Switch is broke, happens all the time, I have a bag of 20 broken ones here. Pop the cap off and replace the switch

    Is the switch itself available as a separate part?

    In your hunt, please let me know if you come across an extra recirculation button! I am looking for one to complete my 456 HVAC; looks like it’s the same part between the 456/550/575…

    I bought a crate full of used parts from a guy that includes four spare hvac panels. I think I may have one coming in. Email me and I’ll check when the parts arrive.
