Parts Used
Remove 3 filter panels by pushing up and out and use a screwdriver or putty knife to compress spring band on bottom end.
Remove the long filter rest from the back.
Remove one screw on right inside and remove horizontal brace (side is looking at it from the front)
Remove the lead to the fan motor (disconnect plug)
Remove 3-4 screws holding the lamp/switch panel
Lift panel up to disengage the slots on lower edge and angle the panel in such a way as to expose the inside. Identify the three wires going to the old switch. Remove the retaining nut from the old switch and retain the nut for reuse. Identify the three wire locations on the old and new switches. Remove wires from the old (pry the old one apart with a screwdriver to remove, or expose about 5/16 of bare wire) and push each wire into corresponding hole in new switch being careful that wire path is maintained so switch can be reinstalled properly.
Reinstall switch with retaining nut and tighten with needle nose pliers. Turn on power to test then turn off again.
Reinstall switch and lamp panel engaging slots at bottom and ensuring all wires are free, with screws. Reinstall R retaining brace with one screw making sure back end is held in retainers. Reattach fan motor plug.
Reinstall bottom filter rail. Compress springs and reinstall filter trays with handles facing you.
Notes: the original switch failed because one of the wires broke off where it was held within the switch by a piece of metal band. I believe this occurred due to movement and traction on the wire because the retaining nut on the switch was loose. 30 seconds to tighten it at any time before it failed probably could have prevented the failure.
