[QUOTE="The Big B1, post: 495295, member: 13045"] My 4500 just so happens to be disassembled. I did a quick check on the 3 pin plug that goes into the machine. The only terminals used are the last 2 if you count clockwise from the locator notch, the first does nothing. Here is a picture to show. My guess is they used a double pole single throw switch for whatever reason, price, size, redundancy, etc hence the 4 sets of wires going to 2 pins. So long as you connect the 2 terminals of your new switch to one or both pairs of wires leading to the separate pins on the plug you should be good to go. Double check your new switch is right type as well. I made that mistake before and just grabbed some push buttons off the shelf and spent a day trying to work out why they behaved weird until I realized they were the normally closed type!
