Once you get the unit repaired and the nut tigthened -- be sure to either check the nut 1x per year to make sure it stays tight OR do one of these things:
- Take the nut off, slip a locking washer onto the shaft and re-tighten it.
- Get some blue locktite (ace hardware of similiar) and apply to the nut/shaft. This glue's the nut into place and keeps it from working loose.

I took the knob off and the nut was very loose. Can you see the broken wires from there or are they behind the "bolt" thingy? I saw a tiny ribbon like thing above that but I didn't see any wires and I didn't touch it to see if it was loose.
