Travis - I have the same problem with my Super Tag - a souped up A700. The switch was designed to do two things - if you just quickly pressed the red button, it would turn on the tub lamp. If you pushed and held it in it would turn both the tub and ignite the florescent bulb. Over time, when you press the black button it doesn't quite get that first circuit cut-off. I've never cracked open the switch - but you might be able to mess with the black button enough to get it to shut off, or find a spare switch (which could prove difficult - of the 5 spares I have none of them were able to successfully shut off the tub bulb without massive effort.)

I didn't read my owners manual close enough to see that the pushbuttons control the tub light also. I have parts ordered, so I'm excited about getting this up and running soon! |

Travis, What dryer model are you speaking of? I didn't see any reference to one in this post. I only found reference to your A-700 and 142S washers. Which light are you trying to replace? Console, dial, or drum? You'll want to take the back off the dryer and do some cleaning back there. While you have the back off, remove the fan housing and clean and oil the fan bearing/shaft. Also, clean and oil the idler shaft/bracket. Use Turbine oil only!!! |
