Black and Decker FT1000 Type 1 Blower Switch Replacement

Introducción

Black and Decker only replaces the switch with a complete motor, so this guide will replace the switch with a commonly available switch.

    • Remove rear cover. It helps to hold the plug tight to the front housing so the wires stay in place.

    • Notice the switch is fine, it's simply the plastic armature that is broken.

    • The broken piece is only included with the motor and switch.

    • This switch is easy to find. It's just a single position single throw switch.

    • I was able to buy it at a home improvement store for $4.00.

    • It even fits nicely in the cutout for the original switch/armature.

    • Remove the switch/armature.

    • Remove the tension plate (the metal piece).

    • Put in the switch. The terminals are at a bad angle, so we will bend them to fit.

    • The black wire gets a new wider terminal and just plugs on.

    • The other wire needs to be a bit longer, so it gets an extension and a new terminal.

    • I used simple crimp on terminals and splice.

    • There was not enough room for the terminal to pass by the plastic housing. I just removed a little and then routed the black wire under the switch.

Scot,

Thanks so much for your excellent information!!! The exact same part broke on mine today. I looked at your outstanding detail on what to do. I looked through my stash of stuff and found a toggle switch just like the one you showed but from a different manufacturer. I just got done putting it in as you described and it is better than new now. Works like a champ!

Thanks so much,

John Brodrecht

This was an excellent post with the perfect amount of detail and clear pictures!

I only wish you had the wiring part in the same detail because I think my wiring is faulty. I will look for your posts again for guidance. Thanks
