Thanks for the guide. Where did you get the replacement switch? Thanks
Hey Riley,
Looks good, but where do I buy a replacement switch?
Yes, where does one buy a switch?
I recently disassembled my 25+ year old dcl10plus after no parts sites showed a “switch” before finding this website posting.
Turns out (as is clear in the posting) the actual electrical part of switch is not some fancy gizmo but a simple micro switch in a fancy gizmo.
The original is no longer made and is actually a very plain Jane switch. I found many expensive replacements that were typically $3-5 plus $7-8 shipping. A friend suggested checking banggood and found them sold in lots of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 starting at about $1.50 including shipping but switch had additional “roller arm” which I assumed would just pop out. I order the two pack at $1.88.
The banggood search id on the item is 944612. I actually had to use a small hack saw to cut the arm as it didn’t pop out. Mine was a DCL10p the switch may vary in other models so disassemble before ordering. Also beware if you look at other sites … there are two sizes of electrical lugs that I saw on this size switch … this is the smaller one (match yours to banggod picture).
I am hoping to find not the microswitch, but the plastic lever. How would you go about finding a replacement for that? Ours broke and we can turn the Cuisanart on/off by jamming a wooden spoon in there. There must be a better replacement though…
