I picked up a used one from A-Z Tractor a couple of years ago, still working fine.  He doesn't have any at the moment, but it might be worth calling him to see if he can keep an eye out for you.

How is the 110970 different than the 103480?

I do not have the answer for that, all of my 3&400 series use the # 110970.    Thanks Gary

You saw the EMB link? Both should be normally open switches. I wonder if a change in suppliers caused the part number change?

Thanks again Garry, if those will work on the 3 & 400 series and could locate a supplier I would stock up on them, I prefer to keep all safety switches in place.

Hey I got one on  the flying A Plunge... send it to ya if I can finger out how to permanently bypass it . Ain't doing any good ty-wrapped closed like this. Supposed to be the safety switch on the deck lever. @squonkmight know of a source? I called it the refrigerator door light switch!

@WHX24 get yer meter out and figure out what does what. Or did you have to sell it to pay for that paint on Cindy's tractor?

An old thread that may help near the end

I was going to get my refrigeration hardware book out. Garry beat me to it.

That switch looks like the interlock on the access cover on our furnace/AC unit.....

A member here told me that is a switch for a fridge door.  It should still be available.  I have seen some on eBay.

Trouble is most if not all refrigerator door switches are Normally Closed so they won't work.  I checked Ebay and Amazon and couldn't find any Normally Open ones.  But you can fix the old one by disassembling and cleaning the contact surfaces with an emery board or other.  The cap is glued on, just use a carpet knife and work around the

outside until it pops off.  Glue back on when through.  Note:  I tried this as a last resort when I couldn't find a replacement switch.  Was surprised when it  actually worked.

Could you folks use a refrigeration fan switch that is normally open?

The light switch is normally closed.

Fan switch should work.

I believe Lynnmor has the answer.  I'm ordering one to verify fit.

I bought a Subzero refrigerator fan switch 7014651 off of Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZ91GW3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  It's a normally open switch and should work just fine as a substitute for my 416-8 clutch neutral switch.  Cost was $11.29.  I'm keeping as a spare.  The switch is marked as an EMB602.
