As I removed the cover an S shaped piece of steel wire came loose but I'm not sure where it needs to be positioned to get it operating correctly again.<br /> <br /> I've tried it in numerous places but no joy. In it's current state (without S wire) the switch can be pushed in (lights on) then pushes back to off position (lights off) due to the spring.<br /> <br /> When operating correctly the switch is pushed in and sits in the on position, then pushed again and spring pushes back to the off position.<br /> <br /> I've looked at the other switches (for fan control) but they operate differently.<br /> <br /> The shaft of the switch has some notches in it, don't know if they're important. <br /> <br /> Can anyone help?</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> <section class="message-attachments"> <h4 class="block-textHeader">Attachments</h4> <ul class="attachmentList"> <li class="file file--linked"> <a class="u-anchorTarget" id="attachment-147674"></a> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

It is just like a push button ball point pen, push once and it toggles in one direction, push again, and it flips to the other direction.<br /> It is hard to explain. However, see what looks like a small staircase (2 position notches) on the shaft, one leg has to go in there and the other leg goes elsewhere. Sorry, can't help guess where the other leg goes, but it might be onto the white slot in the main body. In fact, start with the white body in the main switch body first, put the zig-zag in there. It will likely go in some direction, maybe horizontal or vertical, hard to tell. Then try to put the button back on and check that the other zigzag leg goes into one of the slots/notches of the button shaft (as you have identified). I suspect the round spring will be compressed, leaving the button staircase clear for the zig-zag metal piece. With each press of the button, the leg of the metal piece will toggle between the two notches.<br /> Good luck</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-microdata" itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemtype="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter" itemscope> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="https://schema.org/LikeAction" /> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList is-active"> <ul class="reactionSummary"> <li><span class="reaction reaction--small reaction--1" data-reaction-id="1"><i aria-hidden="true"></i><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="reaction-sprite js-reaction" alt="Like" title="Like" /></span></li> </ul> <span class="u-srOnly">Reactions:</span> <a class="reactionsBar-link" href="/posts/1457190/reactions" data-xf-click="overlay" data-cache="false" rel="nofollow"><bdi>Deebs505</bdi></a> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--vote"> <div class="message-column"> <div class="contentVote js-contentVote " data-xf-init="content-vote" data-content-id="post-1457190"> <meta itemprop="upvoteCount" content="0" /> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--up " data-vote="up"><span class="u-srOnly">Upvote</span></a> <span class="contentVote-score js-voteCount" data-score="0">0</span> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--down " data-vote="down"><span class="u-srOnly">Downvote</span></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="Deebs505" data-content="post-1457192" id="js-post-1457192" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/posts/1457192/"> <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/help-put-switch-back-together-on-cookerhood.166879/" /> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-1457192"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section class="message-user" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/deebs505.327880/"> <meta itemprop="url" content="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/deebs505.327880/" /> <div class="message-avatar "> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/members/deebs505.327880/" class="avatar avatar--m avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="327880" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #2985a3; color: #051114"> <span class="avatar-u327880-m" role="img" aria-label="Deebs505">D</span> </a> </div> </div> <div class="message-userDetails"> <h4 class="message-name"><a href="/members/deebs505.327880/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="327880" data-xf-init="member-tooltip"><span itemprop="name">Deebs505</span></a></h4> <h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">New Member</h5> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main js-quickEditTarget"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <a href="/threads/help-put-switch-back-together-on-cookerhood.166879/post-1457192" rel="nofollow" itemprop="url"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2024-11-07T09:35:53-0800" data-time="1731000953" data-date-string="Nov 7, 2024" data-time-string="9:35 AM" title="Nov 7, 2024 at 9:35 AM" itemprop="datePublished">Nov 7, 2024</time> </a> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <a href="/threads/help-put-switch-back-together-on-cookerhood.166879/post-1457192" class="message-attribution-gadget" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/1457192/share" aria-label="Share" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf fal fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a href="/threads/help-put-switch-back-together-on-cookerhood.166879/post-1457192" rel="nofollow"> #3 </a> </li> </ul> </header> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-1457192" data-lb-caption-desc="Deebs505 · Nov 7, 2024 at 9:35 AM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div itemprop="text"> <div class="bbWrapper">Good luck indeed, I didn't even need to open the thing, I just became inquisitive.

As I removed the cover an S shaped piece of steel wire came loose but I'm not sure where it needs to be positioned to get it operating correctly again.\n\nI've tried it in numerous places but no joy. In it's current state (without S wire) the switch can be pushed in (lights on) then pushes back to off position (lights off) due to the spring.\n\nWhen operating correctly the switch is pushed in and sits in the on position, then pushed again and spring pushes back to the off position.\n\nI've looked at the other switches (for fan control) but they operate differently.\n\nThe shaft of the switch has some notches in it, don't know if they're important. \n\nCan anyone help?", "answerCount": 4, "upvoteCount": 0, "author": { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/deebs505.327880/", "name": "Deebs505", "url": "https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/deebs505.327880/" }, "suggestedAnswer": [ { "@type": "Answer", "datePublished": "2024-11-26T17:44:26+00:00", "url": "https://www.electro-tech-online.com/posts/1457870/", "text": "Just got it!\n\nI didn't give you a picture of the switch cover and top of shaft which turn out to be the key parts.
