Einleitung
If you have a lamp that operates using a foot pedal lamp switch, it is likely that over time, the button connecting to the spring or the spring itself may become worn or damaged. This can result in the switch to no longer function properly. If this is the case, this guide will show you how to fix the issue by replacing the button with a new one, with easy-to-follow illustrated instructions. This guide demonstrates the repair process on an Ikea Hektar Floor Lamp, but the principles will apply to other foot pedal lamp switches as well.
Before using this guide, make sure your device is unplugged and remains unplugged throughout your repair. Additionally, check for any corrosion around the switch, damage along the cord itself, or burnt cables. These issues may require additional instructions.
