Kitchen Cube Switch Panel

[highrover]

Our Bongo has been a bit of a workhorse lately - furniture removals and taking stuff to the dump, oops, errr.... recycling centre and in that time has managed to have a few of the switches on the factory Kitchen Cube knocked off.

I had a look in the back to see if it were just a case of replacing said switches but everything seems to be hardwired. The lights, fan and fridge have all been knocked off and now don't work at all

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement unit or individual switches or is it possible to do some kind of "upgrade"?

Cheers
Iain

There is the transalted instructions in a factsheet in the members area that may help? I vaguely remeber someone saying that 321away had a few original kitchen cubes lurking about? Imperial may also be worth trying or any of the other converters/breakers such as Bellhill to see if they've got any spares if it's not possible to find off the shelf replacements?

The wiring to the switch panel has a plug and socket in it so you could take the panel off completely and replace it with a new panel made up from easily available switches. Be aware though that the Cube panel has a sort of fusible link in to protect each circuit so you would have to make sure that each switch has a fuse associated with it. Should be a fairly straightforward job if you cant' get a new Cube panel. Easiest way I think would be to unsolder the wires from the panel and attach them to the new switch fuse setup


You can see the plug and socket on this picture.

Hi Iain
I think that I've got a spare switch panel in my "box of bits". I won't get a chance to check until next week, but feel free to PM me a reminder after Monday!
