Switch Cover

Plastic bezel covering the switch on the unit's outer housing. A cosmetic/protective component, not containing the switch mechanism itself.

Application

The bezel covers and stabilizes the switch fitted in the housing, protecting the mechanism from direct contact with dirt and water during operation. It surrounds the switch button, creating a tidy, sealed finish at its mounting point.

Symptoms – when to replace

• The bezel is cracked or broken off, so the switch is no longer held firmly in the housing.
• Visible gap between the bezel and the housing, through which water could reach the switch.
• The bezel is discolored or brittle after prolonged outdoor use.
• The switch button wobbles or sticks when pressed due to a damaged bezel.

How to choose the right part

Selection is based on reference number 43433 – it's worth comparing with the removed bezel for the shape of the switch button opening, since different models may have slightly different button layouts on the housing.

When replacing the bezel, also check the condition of the switch itself and its seal – a damaged bezel may have exposed the mechanism to moisture over time.

Is the bezel the same thing as the switch itself, and do they need to be replaced together?|No – these are separate parts. The bezel is only the outer cover, while the switch mechanism is a different catalog item. They're only replaced together when both parts show signs of wear.
