Oil filled radiator switches failed

Funny we were just talking about this and one of mine broke.
Low switch broke last year, high switch this week. Thermo still good.
Entire front comes off, mine had 2 screws under the warning plate on top & 2 more on very bottom.
See switch melted to where the tab the wire clips to actually melted out switch body.
Fix is put your own flip switches or put the wires together of either high or low, i never ran it with both on.
If thermo goes bad, get one that goes inline with powercord & get 3 wire extension & make it for anything or, just cut powercord & use it.

Done. Write on it switch bypassed because there's no switch light anymore.
I have it on switched wall outlet, never used the ones on front that failed.
Was easy. Used jumper block it had to connect the 2 wires & removed what's no longer used. No cutting or taping.
Warm bathroom again, thermo still works. Good for another 15yrs.

Did the same thing in my well house. Can't let the water freeze. Lasted 2 more years.
