On/Off Switch 32966
$8.99
The On/Off Switch (part# 32966) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement power switch for the wide-area vacuum family, and it fits more than one machine. This On/Off Switch is the double-pole, single-throw (DPST) rocker that starts and stops the vacuum, breaking both sides of the incoming line so the motor is fully de-energized when the machine is off.
Compatible Models for the On/Off Switch
Because it carries the full motor load every time the machine is switched, the On/Off Switch is a common electrical wear item. Contacts pit and burn with use, and the housing can crack from repeated pressing or a knock in transport. Typical signs it needs replacing are a vacuum that will not start, one that only runs when the rocker is held at an angle, a switch that feels loose, mushy, or stuck, or visible scorching and a burnt-electrical smell at the switch. Any of these is a reason to replace the switch rather than nurse it, since a failing power switch is both an outage risk and a safety concern.
Replacement is a job for a qualified technician: with the machine unplugged, the old switch is released from its panel, the spade terminals are transferred one at a time to the matching tabs on the new switch, and the new switch is snapped back into the opening. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tacony equipment since 1956 and stocks the genuine 32966 switch.
