Mk3iain Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hi all. I have recently fitter the heaters from the winterization kit to my M1008 and have a problem with the coolant heater. The flame sensor or "switch, sensitive" is broken, the tube has detached from the microswitch holder and the internal glass (I think) rod is also broken. It works, as far as I can tell, by the rod actuating the microswitch until the tube heats up and stretches taking the rod away from the switch. The unit then changes from start mode to run. I am after a replacement but have been unable to source one. the part number is Switch, sensitive 8376101. NSN 5930-00-475-5537. They are from a standard heater unit used in many vehicles of the time so spares should be out there somewhere.... I will have a go at repairing it or most likely find someone who can braze the tube back on but I'm not too hopeful. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Many thanks Iain PS. how do you position pictures in the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Asked Eastern Surplus in Philly, they don't think so. Someone else replied with this link that looks promising. http://www.parttarget.com/5930-00-475-5537_5930004755537_51726-G2.html?fbclid=IwAR3MrKrqhM5PZIViXjmkrfINkuex-D2FCYOBC5IKmLvN01o2PfZIxqDV_rE I will try a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
