I thought it had failed when the motor stopped reversing after a year or so. so I ordered a new one. (cheap enough at six bucks) New switch didn't fix the problem. One of my connections had failed due to vibration. The original switch is still fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gardner Bender GSW-16 Heavy-Duty Electrical Toggle Switch, DPDT, ON-(OFF)-ON, 20 A/125V AC, Screw Terminal - Blue Sea Systems 5021 Panel Mount AGC/MDL Fuse Holder, Black - PINFOX Waterproof Electronic ABS Plastic Junction Project Box Enclosure 200mm by 120mm by 75mm (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/1670187-gardner-bender-gsw-16-heavy-duty-electrical-toggle-switch-dpdt](https://www.desertcart.co/products/1670187-gardner-bender-gsw-16-heavy-duty-electrical-toggle-switch-dpdt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
