00:00So your kettle won't click on anymore, your lamp flickers every time you touch the switch,
00:04or your rice cooker just quietly gave up? Don't toss it, 9 times out of 10 it's just a worn
00:09out
00:09power switch, and that's a $2 fix. I went digging through the listings and found the 5 best power
00:15switches for appliance repair jobs, so let's get right into it. At number 1, we've got this SDK LA
00:2311100 TV5 power switch, and honestly, this is the one I'd keep in the drawer. It's a genuine,
00:28tested part rated at 5 amps with an 80-amp surge at 250 volts, so it's got the headroom for
00:34the
00:34stuff that actually draws real power to kettles, rice cookers, pressure cookers, that kind of thing.
00:39It's $5.99, it's sitting at 4.9 stars from nearly 5,000 buyers, and people keep saying it's a
00:46perfect drop-in fit. If you want the repair done once and done right, this is it.
00:52Number 2 is for anyone who fixes things for the whole family, a 30-pack of white push-button
00:57switches for $19.01. These are 10-amp, 250-volt, latching-on-off switches, so one click stays on,
01:05click again and it's off, which is exactly what you want in a lamp or bedside light.
01:09They're sized for small appliances and wiring jobs, and at roughly $0.60 a switch, you'll always
01:15have a spare on hand. A 4.6 rating across almost 5,000 orders says they're solid.
01:21Number 3 might be the best value on the whole list, the TV5 SDL-1P8 power switch for just $2
01:27.99.
01:29You get the same heavy-duty 5 to 80-amp, 250-volt rating is the first one, same 2-pin
01:35layout,
01:35so it swaps straight into cookers and heaters without any drama.
01:39And here's the kicker, it's sitting at a perfect 5 stars from over 4,500 buyers.
01:45If you want the big boy switch without paying extra, this is your pick.
01:49Number 4 is for the brand snobs out there, a genuine imported Alps power switch,
01:54the SDL-1PA, for only $1.52. If you know switches, you know Alps,
02:00they're a Japanese brand that's been making these forever, and the click on these is
02:03noticeably crisper than the no-name stuff. It's a 2-pin switch rated at 4 amps, 250 volts,
02:10which is spot-on for lamps, fans, and radios. A perfect 5-star rating from over 4,000 buyers at
02:17$1.50? That's a no-brainer. And number 5 is the Budget Hero,
02:22a simple push-button power switch for table lamps and household appliances, and it's just $0.69.
02:28Yeah, $0.69. It's rated for 250 volts AC, the push-on design is dead simple to wire up even
02:36if
02:36you've never touched a soldering iron, and it holds a perfect 5-star rating from over 4,000 people.
02:42If you've got one lamp with a dead switch, this fixes it for less than the gas money to drive
02:46to
02:46the store. All five of these are linked in the description below, so grab whichever one fits
