well I just never heard it called "temp control panel" but I know what you're talking about. When I turn mine on, the lights sometimes don't come on all the way. So what I do is turn the dial to 1, and then turn back to 0 quickly, kind of jarring the wires lose. If lights don't come on after that, then I just smack it a few times and it works.

If you have the knobs instead of digital ..... this might help .... my friends flickered for a while and finally went out and stayed out ... dunno if this is what youre talking about but ill throw it out there ..

As nice as that is however, my bulb does work you just havve to tap it sometimes to get it to work. Loose bulb I'm thinking.

take the bulb out and dip the contact end in some bulb grease, to keep contact at all times ... should save you some beating on the heat controls
