A couple of the buttons on the wall control are starting to stick in. Any suggestions for cleaning or another solution?

Thanks BIH

P.S. Hi KAP !!!!
 
Solution is you should of bought a Harman:p.
Just kidding. You could pop it apart and try to clean the keypad contacts. Other than that you might have to replace it.
 
I would stop by Radio Shack and get a can of contact cleaner (spray). Take cover off and clean without soaking the board itself (i.e., just the buttons on the cover).

I hate that wall control, FWIW. Would have bought a Harman had I understood the MVAE's reliance on the wall control. One of the stupidest designs ever created. My condolences.
 
Hi BH. Long time. As suggested above on cleaning buttons. I have had no such issues, and mine is as old as yours. Stay warm. kap
