Suburban Series Switch

[Powder Hounds]

Hey,

Finally had to change my electric hot water series switch located on the exterior bottom left corner of the hot water tank.

What a PITA! Easy to remove the switch and gasket, but, one of the connections was either hung up inside the compartment , or Suburban saved .5 cent and didn't extend the wire length enough. As a result one connection popped back inside the compartment after I unplugged it. Can't really get at it from the interior either.

If you change yours, have extended narrow needle-noise pliers or haemostats, just in case you have to fish that connection out from inside the compartment or, just to help extend the wire(s) after you unplug both connections.
