The
mounting plate is held in place by two or more screws. Remove
the mounting plate.
The shutoff
switch (labeled "A" below) is located near the shutoff
arm (Labeled "B"). Remove the switch by removing
the two screws that hold it in place. The switch is connected
by three wires. Label the wire placement on the switch before
disconnecting the wires. The wires are connected to the switch
with slip-on connectors. Firmly pull the connectors off of
the switch terminals (do not pull on the wire). You may need
to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors.
Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If
the connectors are corroded they should be replaced.
Test
the switch for continuity
using a multitester.
Set the multitester to the ohms setting X1. Touch a probe
to the side terminal. Touch the other probe to one of the
two other terminals. The reading should be either infinity
or zero. With the probes still in place, depress the switch.
You should now get the opposite reading.
Keep
the first probe on the side terminal and move the other probe
to the second terminal. The test results should be the opposite
of the first terminal. If you had a reading of zero on the
first terminal, when the switch was depressed, you should
get a reading of infinity on this terminal.
If
the switch fails either test, it should be replaced.
