Depends on the problem.

If it's the bimetal strip contacts or heaters, don't think there is a repair other than the new solid state conversions. The contacts could be cleaned but if a relay or heater is burned out, that might be a problem in replacing. The resistance in the relay coil is part of the heater circuit so need to be replaced with one from another unit or at least having the same characteristics.

The large spring on the link lever is a torsion spring. Basic springs are available but to get exact specs in finding another might also involve another switch. Not sure how easy or even if it could be disassembled successfully to change the spring because of the construction.
