Need On/Off Plunger switch for 12V closet light

I did not find what I was looking for on Barry's site, so I will ask here if anyone has replaced this switch and knows where I can get an exact replacement?  Too many, way too many options on the Internet and I don't want to guess wrong.Looks like I will be dismantling one closet wall to make the repair.

Thank you.

I decided to do it the right way and took the switch out to see what kind of markings or numbers were on it.  Nada.  Zip.  If no one here can provide a number I will head over to NAPA this week -- or I may order one from MOT.  I hate getting the wrong part and having to exchange it.

Try a local appliance parts store, many appliance's use the same type of switch.

I'm not very knowledgeable about electronics, but is the switch I need really a momentary switch?

It appears that the switch that is normally on  is the correct one.

Thanks, Barry.  You are The Man.

Yes that is correct.
"Momentary" is spring loaded so it comes out when door is open.
"Normally open" means in the normal state which in this case is when the button is out.
When you close the door & button is pushed in, the electrical contact is open & power to the light goes off.

So it is both:  a Momentary Switch that is Normally Open.


This is not nearly as complicated as getting the correct coolant :)).

One of mine was bad. Got it at FOT. Call Mike(parts dept. mgr) and tell him what you have. I tried NAPA and struck out. They are pretty cheap at FOT and can be sent regular mail.

One of the two NAPA stores here in Scarborough, ME will have it for me tomorrow.  $8.95 -- no S&H.  Can't beat that.

Glad you found it George. Keep the part number(s) if you have one switch on each door.
