Hello all. I really hope this is the right place for something like this as I would love some assistance.
Long story short: I have a dishwasher with a faulty power switch that needed a little pressure to keep it working right. Found a compatible part and ordered it. It has arrived and I was going to swap it out but found that even though it is a compatible component that the pins are numbered differently and it's thrown me off guard.
I have already tried googling this as thoroughly as possible but not found answers to my questions, so I'm humbly asking you fine people here.
The attached image "Wires.jpg" shows the configuration of the wires for the power switch - 4 wires (red, black, blue and white)
Attached image "Side View.jpg" shows the old switch on the left beside the new switch on the right.
Attached image "Pin number view.jpg" shows the pins and the number for each (old switch on the left, new switch on the right)
The problem that I've run int is that I was going to note the configuration of the current wires and the pins, and then swap the switch and connect them as I found them to the replacement switch. I came to a stop when I found that the pins on the underside of the switches were numbered in a different order, so I hesitated with connecting them up.
I can't remember which numbered pin had which colour of wire, but I did note that Top-left was RED, Top-right was BLACK, Bottom-left was BLUE and Bottom-right was WHITE.
The old switch appears to be CANAL PS-5.
New switch appears to be NOVA KAN-L5
I know I may be going way far out with making sure things are safe and correct, but I really could do with some help knowing which wire connects where on the replacement switch.
Again, I hope this is the correct place for this and I've tried to give as much information as I can. A big big thank you to you all in advance.
