PROBLEM SOLVED. After lots of searching, I located an OEM switch. NOS. (brand new; never used) Was sitting on the shelf of a Garage Door company. Someone I know works there. I got it for FREE! Sure makes it easy to fix something if you have the right part! (the OEM replacement is slightly...

Hi Madostsa, You say that the purple wire (the 120V 'trigger' on my old obsolete thermal switch) is gonna go to the "in" side of the push-button contacts. I'm not following....it seems that on the Dayton Wiring schematic, that the #6&7 pins on the relay need to be jumpered to energize the...

I feel like a pinball today going back & forth on these relays. And I TRULY appreciate all you guys taking the time to help me with my issue. I like this Dayton you mention. And it is well priced. I want to be sure it will work for my application. I a going to tell you how my old relay was...

Yeah, the single-shot makes more sense to me. I'd want the timer delay to begin as soon as the garage door begins to move, not when it's already completely open. (rarely do I ever stop the garage door mid-stream) So have you seen a 'single-shot' relay advertised anywhere? My other question was...

WOW! That looks perfect! Thanks! (I would like the lite on about a minute or so, so that relay you recommended looks perfect....possibly better than the original) I'm gonna order it.

Yep. I'm aware. I tried that. The problem is in the heater element (see the pics) Note the incredibly fine wire wrapped around the top blade. That fine wire broke a few times, & I re-soldered it. That wire heats up when current is applied & it deflects (bends) that top blade enough so that it...

I already woulda if I knew how.

Here are pics of the unit, and the make & model number. I can send pics in full resolution directly to you if you supply your e-mail address

Yep, I guess you're right. Although, I'd love to have it work as it did for the last 31 yrs.

I have to check the make of the opener. Yes, it's a commercial drawbar opener. (I think that is what it's called) Are you aware of anything that I can use to replace this obsolete Light Delay?

I wouldn't know how. I wouldn't know what components I would need to source, nor where to source them. There MUST be some sort of device that could directly replace mine. I have searched around, but so far, can't find anything. It's only to turn on a light, by golly. (with a delay)

Yep, it's old school. You have any idea where I might be able to get one, or something that can replace it?

Thanks

Would you know what this is called? If I knew what it was called, I could search for it. I know what it does (or at least what it is supposed to do) But it no longer works. I tried everything. It turns on the garage lite on the automatic garage door opener when you open & close the door. 120 V...
