Light Lens

1. Shut off applicable circuit breaker to isolate power to exhaust hood.
2. Unscrewed the single machine screw holding the wiring channel cover in place. Used 1/8" nutdriver.
3. Tape labeled (R & L) the associated electrical wires to light switch and colored wires to fan switch for exact replacement.
4. Pulled off the con ... Read more nector wires by the metal clips using needle nose pliers (some were very stubborn (grease corrosion or tight).
5. Could not pinch the plastic expanders on switches and push through from rear as I expected. Had to pry switches from front with screwdriver, wiggle one side free, and then force switch through from back side. This was the hardest task as they fight to stay in place. They come out the front side only.
6. Inserted from the front both fan and light switches, noting the switch label positions of the new and old to get the wiring and on-off positions to be the same as the old.
7. Reconnected all the labeled wires to the new switch pole connectors.
8. Turned on circuit breaker and tested new switches.
9 . Replaced the wiring channel cover and screwed in the metal holding screw with nutdriver.
