Bad on/off switch on sun heater
Remove the screws from the back of the heater that hold the heat box in the wood casing. Then remove the support brackets from the left and right sides that you can see on the back. Then remove the one long screw from each wheel bracket on the bottom. Flip the heater back up right and pull the whole metal heat box from the wood case. Lay the heat box on its left side and remove the screws holding the right side cover on. Note the location of the wires on the old switch and them remove them from the switch. Squeeze the upper and lower tabs together and push the switch out the front. The use of pliers may be required. Assembly is the same but in reverse. Use caution tightening screws as to not to over tighten them. The metal screws will strip very easily. Good luck and have fun.

My grand son played with the switch until it broke.
1. Took the inside heater out of the wood box by following the online instructions.
2. Unscrewed the metal side by removing 20 + or - screws were the switch was.
3. Found the switch that needed replacing
4. Ordered the switch and after one week it arrived
5. Unplugged to broke switch and replaced the wires on the new and pressed it into place
6. Reassembled the whole Heater.
7. Plugged it in and voila. It worked like new.

Thank you.

Took case off the heater, took panel off side, took old switch out and Put new switch in and connected using the diagram we made. Most difficult step was putting new switch in....and we were probably being overly careful!

    This part is slightly larger than the original.
    This part is slightly larger than the original, so the rectangular hole needed modification with a file.

    What a deal
    Switch works just like original. The fit was very snug, had to enlarge opening slightly. Better too tight than too loose. Price was good and the part came in a short amount of time. Satisfied customer

    Exact replacement for Duraflame DFS-450-2 heater
    Part arrived in good condition, well packaged. Perfect duplicate of the power switch on my Duraflame space heater. Original switch melted at the spade teminal due to an overheated jumper wire from thermostat to power switch which seems to be a recurring theme with the Duraflame heaters. I made a new jumper using 10 AWG wire with new spade connectors. The failed Duraflame factory jumper looked to be 14 AWG, too thin to handle the current. Note: this switch is listed as a 20 amp rating, but the one I got is a 15 amp at 125 volt, just like the factory switch. Heater is working fine again.
