If they are are working hard, it's my guess that the controls aren't the major problem. I would guess that the real problem lies in the cables. That said, I'd try some silicone spray on the plastic. You may need to take the cables off and lube them. Not a bad job if you don't have A/C. Disconnect the cable at the control and you'll be able to tell where the problem is.
