My on/off switch broke the first day: Does anyone know if I can repair the on/off switch??

That switch is soldered directly to the board, so you have to replace the board to get the switch, $10.00 as I remember. Dennis

we actually called the company and they sent us out a new component... it seemed to be faulty... good luck!

Just replace 1. The other switch will act as disconnect, so leave it on. Works well for me.

Sounds like you may just have a bad switch, I've never had that problem. I would contact the manufacturer.sorry I can't help more... :(

Jumping on this one... similar problem... charger dropped but the RED wire came off of the 2/12/75 switch... can you comment on where THAT one goes? Thanks....

The switch is a separate piece that just plugs into the pump so i'm sure that if it broke you could replace it with another one although I have never looked for just the switch itself. You might even be able to buy one from another company or even get a generic switch and splice it into the existing wire yourself.

Yes, but do not buy it as the off/on switch broke two days after the two month warranty was up

Depends on what broke, I took mine apart and fixed a broken switch. One bad thing about these things, hard to get parts. Also battery went bad so I will have to somehow put a different one in.

If it appears to be a problem with the switch, just get a new one and replace it. It does not cost as much as the hassle you will have messing around with the old one! A simple phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed to do the job.

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.

I have used if for approx. 6 hours across the first year and now it no longer turns on. Probably a failure of the pressure switch. Out of warranty so it will be an ordeal to get it fixed for less than the cost of a new one from another manufacturer. I am starting to think that renting makes more sense. You won't use it very often (if you are like most people) and it probably won't work when you need it.

Check the secondary switch they sent with it, also check your batteries. If it still doesn't work check the battery connection points (the plus and minus sides) for corrosion. If it still doesn't work, remove the rubber cap from the broken switch, sometimes it's a simple matter of alignment

Mine stopped working too. Worked great for a while, but now it will not turn on even if fully charged. I think the switch is just low quality and breaks easily.

Call them and ask for a replacement. IIRC the unit, like most if not all, is a twist-off. Should be easy (for a guy or an adept woman) to swap out).

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

Yes...mine is 25 yrs old...and no on/off switch....just plug and unplug. Don't know about this new one. I still use mine every other week!

Mine did not work either. The switch was not functioning. But the most disappointing issue is that the seller and the manufacturer did not care to listen to my complains or try to repair the switch. No refunds was received.
