MEP 003A not getting 240v

[JeremyDM]

If the switch is actually stuck, you might want to try a can of aerosol contact cleaner.

Thanks for all your help! It was the switch that was locked up. A little TLC was the trick and maybe a bit of electrical contact cleaner spray! Working the shaft back and forth with vise grips on it and using some inward pressure while turning and WALA it started to “CLUNK” going into each position!

One thing I do with my MEP003A is exercise the switches every few months, just to keep them working good.

Also, after un-sticking quite a few of these switches, I recommend spraying a LITTLE WD40 or some similar electric contact cleaner / lube (if you do not like WD40) on the switch yearly. Then turn the switch periodically.
