We have an M Latter 16 shrink wrap machine that has a broken switch. It has a fuse attachment and a toggle switch. Fuse is removable. It’s been broken for years and we have to unplug and plug in the machine to make it work. Recently we’ve moved the machine and it’s much more inconvenient to unplug and I’d like to try to replace the switch. It has to push into place and rotate to lock.
Is this a picture of the fuseholder?
What information can you provide for the switch? I couldn’t find anything for repair manuals online for your machine.
It is one unit. The fuse plugs into this, the fuse holder, but that is attached to the switch which is the top of this device, the switch is broken off. I have attached a few more photos to give a better overview.
So, you’re saying the switch is integrated into the fuse holder itself? If so, I don’t recall seeing anything quite like that.
What is the rating and type of fuse used in this device?
Could you drill another hole and install a fuse holder in one and switch in the other?
Could you plug that hole and put a “Power Entry Module” with built-in switch into the rear panel of the device?
I’d be inclined to splice in an inline fuse holder such as a 01500332H and find a regular toggle switch with suitable ratings to fit the existing hole.
