Slacktide
Seasoned Expediter
This may not make sense but on ours if the temp control knob (colder/warmer knob) is turned all the way to the left it blows out warm. Turn it three clicks to the right and it will freeze you out.
Now that sounds like a bad segment in the varriable resistor, and for what they want for that switch I would turn the 3 clicks and carry on. like it sounds you are doing, at least until I ran out of "cold clicks"
