Equity Alarm Clock 13014 Alarm Switch Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

If the alarm on your Equity Alarm Clock 13014 is not going off, use this guide to replace the alarm switch.

The alarm switch is a small lever that is flipped, at the set time of the alarm, to activate an internal circuit which in response triggers the alarm to sound. A faulty alarm switch will not activate the internal circuit therefore, never triggering the sound.

Step 5 requires knowledge of basic soldering to detach a wire.
