Yes these boxes fail and frequently. They are called climate control units. The one in my '92 is manual(has dials) like yours, as opposed to newer models that have a temp setting in degrees.
Mine failed all of a sudden like yours. I removed the unit and I looked for broken solder or brown spots on the circuit board, and resolder the spots. It did not work in my case. Other bricksters have had success with the resolder.
I bought a used one for $200 and system works fine. This is a $600+ part at the dealer.
