• Can resolve situations where jiggling a door/lever is needed to make a function stop

• 1 off switch

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off the circuit breaker) before servicing
• Access the switch, note wire positions, and transfer wires terminal-for-terminal
• Mount the new switch securely; avoid bending the actuator more than necessary
• Restore power and test operation before full reassembly
