When replacing the thermo-switch, consider using a relay to activate
the fans. Those fans take a lot of current and the thermo-switch take
a lot of abuse switching such a high current. 

I have had 2 thermo-switches (both new) fail in the past 18 months. The
internal contact pit and burn too easily. I am installing a relay this week
to overcome the problem.

Same happened on my Scimitar, 2 switches in less than 5 years, installed
a relay and 5 years later everything works
