Hi, Frank. To replace the switch, shut off the 120-volt power to the appliance. Remove the cover from the switch to access the mounting screws. Remove the screws, and pull the switch off the control panel. Remove the capillary and bulb from the thermal well located in the pool loop adjacent to the heater outlet. Replace in reverse order.
