Thanks,

Mine's been off exactly 20degrees for a couple months. Was told it was kind of a ($) hassle to fix so I didn't. But, lo and behold this past week of 100+ degree heat (probably more like 120 reflected off the pavement) seems to have shocked it back to working. Go figure.
I am interested in the fix if it's not too intensive. Thanks
