Its from a dishwasher we purchased at Sears. I went to Sears and they say.
Oh... we only sell the whole harness ( which includes a handle, two switches and two pins) for $62.00 + tax.
I dont need the whole harness.
I wonder how much of a savings we would have on the environment if manufactures were forced to make it easier to repair stuff, heck how much of a saving the environment would have just from making it easier to change spark plugs in modern cars.

In the olden days we had junkjards where you could rummage about and pull parts from broken appliances, cars, etc and then pay a few pennies for them. Nowadays, there's e-bay ...

Yeah I am hoping Ebay is not my last resort. There is only one listed.. and its says "NEW" on the listing, but the picture shows some very obvious wear on the one connector.
Frustrating in that even though its a kenmore appliance its a very commonly used part in dishwashers but still difficult to find.

If it is for an appliance, try Reliable Parts on Century.
If it's a general electronics part, try Tip Top electronic supply ( I think that's the name) on St. James.

You could keep an eye out on Kijiji. People give away appliances all the time, working or not.

I know the address GOM.. but looking at Google I am not sure where the address is exactly.. the mapping is messed up and that area is a pain in the a$$ around 430 so I dont want to have to try and turn around and such.
I see it as being across the street from battery man .. but all I see there on google maps is a large grey building with no name on it.

they said..
you must bring it in
which to me sounds extremely odd since I can find the part quite easily using the part number on the internet. But perhaps there inventory system is not computerized.

Stupid measure, V7... I found every type of microswitch except that one... The price is around 2 bucks a piece.
I'll see if there are similar types.

no one is willing to admit it publicly but once they see me completely without pants they dont want me to wear pants again and they weep to think of what could possibly have been,.
