Re: ? about 2 quick mods i can do today Do the thermostat mod instead of wasting money buying a new one. The mod is so simple and FREE. I used a 3/16" long piece off the base of a 3/16" drill bit for a spacer. Taking your original stat apart and puting in the spacer took me about 1 minute once the stat was out.
The fan can be controlled at any temperature you choose by an adjustable fan switch available at Pep Boys for $21. Instead of following the supplied instructions, I hooked one switch lead to ground and conected the other to the small GREEN wire that comes out of the bottom of the fan relay socket. You can use one of those crimp on splices but I like soldering for a permanent connection.
