Thermador Cook n Vent Fan Speed Switch

I have a Thermodor Cook n Vent purchased in oct 1992. I am trying to replace the Ventilator Variable Speed Control Switch (Pt.#414429). I was able to remove the cooktop. However, I am unable to remove panel that covers where the switch is located. Is there a special tool required or am I missing something? Thanks for any info!

I need to replace thew up/down switch for the subject unit. The last thread advised to buy the switch direct from the manufacturer. Would that be from Bosch?

The switch mfg. in my case was

Judco Manufacturing
1429 West 240th street
Harbor City, CA 90710
(310) 534-0959
I had to send them the old one and ended up paying $24.00 for two

The BOSCH Part Number is AP2825671 and my local appliance wanted $55.00 for it

Good luck

I am intersted in purchasing an up/down switch for the subject vent system as my unit is currently stuck in the up position. The previous thread advised purchasing the AP2825671 direct from the manufacturer as it was a lot cheaper. Would that be from Bosch and do you contact them online?

The ice maker quit dispensing cubes and only dispenses crushed ice.
