Greetings Listers,
I missed out on the original discussion; Forgive me if I'm too late to
the party.
The Behr controls are simple. If you have the unit I am familiar with,
there are two fans, each with a resistor pack whose terminals represent
Low, Med and High blower settings. In the original configuration, each
fan had it's own switch. Any three-pole switch should work in this
application. I note here that my switches got pretty hot on High, and I
retro-fitted with relays when the contacts in one of the switches failed.
The second control is a rheostat (low-ohm) which "regulates" the
temperature by cycling the compressor. 0-ohms = Maximum cold.
Here's a link to the Behr manuals for these units which you may find
helpful. These also include contacts at Behr. I have had limited
success in obtaining parts from them. The original controls may be
available.
