Product Description

?

This switch and contact plate assembly, also known as a wiring harness, is sourced from the original manufacturer for use in blowers. The switch controls the flow of electricity to either start or stop the blower, and the contact plate allows for electrical connection. The assembly can fail due to short circuits, faulty wiring, damage, or normal aging. A faulty switch and contact plate will result in difficulties starting the blower, lack of speed control, and fluctuating power output. Begin the repair by disconnecting the blower from the power source. Remove the blower housing and switch cover to access the assembly. Take note/image of the wire connections for the installation later. Disconnect the wire connectors and carefully pull the faulty assembly out of the blower. Position the new switch and contact plate assembly in the equipment and reconnect the wire connectors to the appropriate terminals using your notes/image from earlier. Reassemble the equipment parts in reverse order.
