No idea but here is your image. Maybe a little more info in your post and ask for it to be moved to the lounge.

OK, thanks admin, Please move this to the lounge if you can, otherwise no worries. The question for this heater unit has to do with the yellow wires on top. The wire that is crossed under the contact went in horizontally underneath the contact that is screwed down as I can best figure and is only way it fits, the plastic piece fits above the the contacts, but does not click down and lock in, the contacts are springy and there is a post underneath that can be pushed up by a button on the bottom which I am assuming is like a solenoid.

I was going to put it together and tape it down with that work or do I need to do something else? Thanks

Looks like a limit switch for the heater which is the aux heater in a AC unit.

Similar to this one the image being from the bottom side

If so, then I'd just order a new limit switch and replace that one, it looks a little crusty.

Thanks, yes that’s it. This ordeal began with a busted blower motor. Ordered one and in replacing that I had to add a squirrel cage fan because the old one was fused to the dead motor shaft. Tried all the hacks even bought a fan puller/pusher tool to no avail.

New cage came today and it’s back together and working after a week without AC which sucked (Florida, so, yeah).

I’ll worry about the heater part later if needed. Usually only use the heat for maybe 30 or so days in the course of the “winter”.
