Heater Knob Not Working

A few months ago my climate control knob started getting 'stiff'. If I went from cold to hot, it would freeze up, then I would have to back it off a bit back to lukewarm, then I could go to full hot.
Then the knob stopped working yesterday, there was no resistance to it, I could just spin from hot to cold but the air was still lukewarm.
I took it apart and found that there's two wires on it that are supposed to go in a groove in the knob and they had fallen out. I put them back in correctly, and thought it was fixed, but it fell out again later on that day.
Has anyone had this happen, is this a known issue or is there a fix...?

I did some searching and found that the part is Subaru 72331CA030, it's only $25 but I'm not sure how far back it goes into the dash, I'd rather not have to tear it part even further, especially if it's just going to happen again.
