This is a complete touchpad and control board replacement for older 24" PolarCool evaporative cooling units built with Emerson motors — it's the part you need when the fan speed buttons or pump control on your cooler stop responding.

A failed touchpad on an evaporative cooler is one of the more common service calls — buttons stop registering, fan speeds get stuck, or the pump won't kick on. This assembly replaces the touchpad and control board together as one unit, so you're not chasing individual wiring faults inside the housing. It's built specifically for the older 24" PolarCool platform running Emerson motors, and it restores full 10-speed fan control plus pump operation once installed.
