Johnny Vac XV3 Canister On/...
$6.99
Product details
SWXV3 is the on/off power switch fitted to the Johnny Vac XV3 canister vacuum. It carries the full motor current every time the vacuum is switched on, which makes it one of the parts most exposed to electrical wear over the life of the machine.
When the internal contacts in a switch like this pit or the toggle mechanism loosens, the canister can become hard to start, may run intermittently, or may not shut off cleanly when you press the button. These symptoms usually point to the switch rather than the motor itself.
- Part: SWXV3
- Fits: Johnny Vac XV3 canister vacuum
- Role: Switches motor power on and off
Before opening up the switch housing, unplug the machine at the wall. Move each wire over to its new terminal individually, checking against the old connection as you go, so nothing gets crossed. Johnny Vac catalogues its canister switches one machine at a time rather than sharing a single switch across the range, so confirm SWXV3 against the switch already in your XV3 before ordering. A switch that only occasionally hesitates is worth cleaning first with a contact-safe electrical cleaner, but one that has stopped responding altogether, or that trips a breaker when pressed, should be replaced rather than serviced further.
