Whirlpool WP3147265 Range Hood Exhaust Fan Rocker Switch OEM Part

SSVD48600Pon finally popped the control panel loose from the top of the stove. Took some manipulation as the stove is more than 20 yrs. old With a screwdriver finally popped the switch loose. Applied the new switch. Popped the top back to the control panel. Put the screws back in and everything was back to normal.

First check to see how many leads your switch has before ordering - I ordered before I took things apart, and got an incorrect 2 lead version when I needed a 3. On starting the repair, at first thought I might have to take apart console - but happily, no. After turning off power, just carefully pried the old switch out (putty knife to depress plastic clips above & below), pulled out gently (not much slack on wires) and removed the old wires by gently easing them off the broken switch with a screwdriver (paying attention to which goes where), then replaced on the terminals using needle nose pliers to get a better angle - less than 5 minutes - and popped the new switch back in.
