2399544 Genuine Slide Switch Assembly for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Sliding Control Switch, Indesit Whirlpool Group Spare

Part 2399544 is a genuine Ariston slide switch assembly. Unlike a rotary switch, a slide switch is moved sideways or up and down through a slot, and each position selects a different setting. Rangehoods often use this style of control for fan speed and the light, but our records don't name the Ariston appliance for 2399544, so please match the number on your old switch before ordering.

Signs of a failing slide switch

Inside a slide switch, a carrier moves a set of contacts across fixed terminals. Grease, dust and heat get into the slot over time, and the contacts wear or the plastic carrier breaks. You may find the slider stiff or loose, a setting that only works if you hold the slider in a certain spot, a speed or light that won't come on, or a slider that has snapped off altogether. A burning smell or scorched terminals point to a switch that needs replacing straight away.

Fitting the switch assembly

Switch off at the wall or isolator before opening anything up, and if the appliance is hard-wired, leave the job to a licensed electrician. Remove the panel or cover that hides the switch, then photograph the wiring and the slider position. Transfer the wires one by one, refit the slider cap, and test each setting before closing up.
