The SaltDogg 3006620 & 3016934 controllers are built for a long life. But most deaths (approx. 60%) that occur after only a few years of use are due to a simple rocker switch failure. --- Unfortunately, when this happens most controllers are discarded and replaced . . . needlessly. --- The electrical contacts of the switches are made of silver-copper alloy. The copper gives hardness and wear-resistance to the silver. While silver is very resistant to corrosion, copper is not. --- Salt and moisture enters the switch over time and corrodes the electrical contact surfaces, and the switch stops working. The salt comes from the fingers and gloves of the salt-spreader operator as he turns the switch on and off. --- There is a good chance you can resurrect your dead controller by replacing the old power switch. A new switch, plus 20-minutes of your time and a little manual dexterity may save you the cost of a new controller.
