The space heater works just fine, but this switch rattles intermittently - it starts and stops at random. I can't find anything like it on parts sites like Digi-key, and there's no information on the thing at all, other than the numbers 1-4 and a picture.
It rattles, but it's not just a ball and contacts, as there's no continuity between any of the four terminals, either tilted or not.
Does anyone have any info about this crazy thing? I wanted to simply replace it to see if that helped. Diameter is ~17mm. Terminals are in a .1 x .4 inch rectangle pattern.
The heater brand is Honeywell, but I don't think that means anything. It's no doubt made in China with the US brand slapped on.
