Great work but our problem is the micro switch itself, after exposing the circuit board I shorted the backside solder connections to cycle the fan on and off, everything works perfectly…..now I only need to know a part number so I can find a on/off micro switch.
any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Is there a way to keep the fan in ALWAYS ON position. So I can control it’s ON/OFF using a smart plug?
