My air compressor stopped working so I opened the motor case and found that one of the connectors on the switch had melted into the switch casing and was not making contact any more. When you press the switch on this thing it makes a connection on the live AND the neutral. One of the neutral terminals was melted, so I pulled it out and connected it on the other non-melted terminal (where the switch makes the connection to).
So now I have a continuous connection on neutral but the switch still operates on the live wire. The compressor works again now but I have to wonder why they designed the switch to break both live and neutral? Is this going to burn down my house?
