Replacing facial tanning switch - any electrical issues?

Ok, I am almost done cleaning up this mess the old owner left behind, have one crap bed (cant wait to get rid of it) that needs the facial tanner switch replaced, its a standard rocker switch that is stuck on off.

220v perfect sun 28 2f (now you know why I want it out) but I am assuming I can pick up a standard rocker arm switch and just swap it out...

anyone got any tips on whether this will be an issue.

Go to Radio Shack, just match up the size and amps.

thanks Ed, I just measured volts for volts, but will do amps as well., kind of hard to check without power going through the switch

It will tell you right on the switch. The ratings have to be equal or greater and try to find one with the same footprint or close but filing plastic isn't that hard.

I tried to remove the switch to read, by just by compressing the sides.... not a chance... so I will have to cut the tabs... out to read... **** I hate this bed

Just wire-nut the circuit so that they are always on and don't worry about it. And ... I may be wrong here, so don't laugh (or be offended Ed - just trying to help), but I don't think the rocker switches are rated for "amps" necessarily, just voltage. ~ducking and covering JIC~

Good idea, just jump the switch and the facial will be ready to go. Belvy, FYI, I'm pretty sure they have amp ratings.

yep, they have amps... thanks guys, went smooth, and only $2.99 to boot. Most switches I found were rated 110v 16a and 220v 8-10a.

It must of been the original switch, as I had a **** of a time getting it out and the wires were a little crispy on the ends.... replaced and back in service....
