Yes evaporative, but I had to open the switches to apply it.

WD40 works in seconds with no disassembly.


Try some WD40 or similar spray lubricant - seriously bet it makes all

I would prefer to replace them as the switch mechanism inside did not look
very well.

Been working near miracles for me, nearly every day, for 40+ years.

Hey Phil,
How does the WD40 go for pots ?
I have always thought it was short term and destructive.
