Ridgid R2601 Power Switch Replacement

Introduction

If the device will not turn on, the power switch could be at fault. If you have already tried blowing out dust, you may need to replace the power switch, which this guide will show you how to do. After removing the top cover with a Torx T10 screwdriver, you will only need a metal spudger to remove and replace the switch. Be sure that the device is unplugged when completing this replacement.
