Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is this a drain timer?
No. This is a drain switch that selects the operating mode, and it does not count time. The difference is clear on the label: the part is rated in amps and volts, not minutes. See the comparison table above.
Q2. How do I know whether I need a switch or a timer?
If the failed part has a rotary knob with a scale in minutes, you need a timer. If it has a lever or plunger that moves in and out, you need a switch.
Q3. What does the 1E4 marking mean?
The operating life, meaning ten thousand operating cycles. In domestic use that is many years; in labour accommodation and laundries it shortens in proportion to use.
Q4. The machine will not drain, is the switch the cause?
Possibly, but check first the external lever, the linkage, the drain valve and the drain hose. All of these produce an identical symptom.
Q5. What is the electrical rating?
3.5 A at 250 V AC.
