Product Overview
A sander that stays completely dead, cuts out when the switch is touched, or has a cracked rocker may need a switch after the outlet, cord, thermal protector, motor, capacitor, and internal wiring are tested. A tripping breaker indicates a fault that should not be bypassed.
The rocker connects and disconnects line power to the tool motor. It does not provide overload protection and must match the original voltage, current, terminal, and safety configuration.
Match BD46125, BD46023, J-9301, or E156275, rocker size, panel opening, terminal count and orientation, electrical ratings printed on the old switch, tool model, and product photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this switch fix a motor that hums but will not turn? A: Usually not by itself; a jammed belt, capacitor, motor winding, or bearing may be the cause.
Q: Does it fit every Ridgid sander? A: No. Match BD46125 and the cutout, terminals, and ratings.
Q: Can the breaker be bypassed during installation? A: No. Electrical protections and grounding must remain intact.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
