Wacker Neuson 5000173241 Momentary Switch

The Wacker Neuson Momentary Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for the E5000 Ground Heater, HSH350 Hydronic Surface Heater, HI400HD G Indirect Air Heater, HP252, and CH5000 Cross Heater series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this switch matches the original part in form, fit, and electrical specification — no guesswork, no adaptation. It is the same switch installed on both gas and diesel burner configurations of the E5000, as well as the CH5000 Cross Heater with oil burner and generator variants, making it a versatile stocking item across your heating equipment fleet.

Key Features

• OEM Electrical Specification: — Matched to the original switch circuit rating, ensuring correct actuation response and contact behavior across all compatible heater control panels.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Connects to the factory wiring harness without splicing or rewiring; replaces the original switch position exactly as installed at the factory.
• Broad Heater Family Coverage: — Compatible with E5000 Ground Heaters (gas and diesel burner), HSH350 Hydronic Surface Heaters, HI400HD G Indirect Air Heater, HP252, and CH5000 Cross Heater configurations.
• Restore Reliable Burner Control: — A failed or intermittent momentary switch can prevent ignition sequences from initiating or cause erratic burner cycling; replacing it restores predictable, operator-controlled heater startup.
• Electrical Safety Compliance: — As a control-circuit switch in a fuel-burning appliance, using the correct OEM-rated component ensures the switch operates within the intended electrical parameters, reducing the risk of control circuit faults.

The momentary switch on these Wacker Neuson heaters serves as a key operator input in the burner control circuit — typically used to initiate startup sequences, reset functions, or trigger ignition. Because it is a momentary-action component, it only completes the circuit while physically pressed, then returns to its open state. When this switch wears out or fails internally, the heater may refuse to start, require repeated attempts to ignite, or become unresponsive to operator commands entirely. Replacing the 5000173241 with a genuine OEM part ensures the control circuit behaves exactly as designed across cold-weather jobsite conditions.
