Product details

The Century 17590450 is a motor coverplate supplied with its toggle switch already fitted. It is the 2-speed switch cover plate used on the A.O. Smith and Century motor line, and it is also listed under the substitute part numbers 175904-50 and 5271-75.

What it is

The plate closes off the motor end and carries the toggle used to select between the two speeds. Because the switch is part of the plate, a worn or seized toggle is replaced by changing the assembly rather than by trying to salvage the switch alone.

Why it fails first

The switch is the part of a motor a person actually touches, and it lives outdoors. Toggles wear, stick and eventually stop making contact on one speed, and plates corrode around the switch. None of that means the motor is finished, which is why this assembly is a common order on an otherwise healthy pump.

Before you start

Isolate the motor at the breaker before the plate comes off. It covers live terminals.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Does the switch come with the plate?
Yes. It is supplied as the coverplate with the toggle switch, not as a bare plate.
What does the toggle do?
It is the 2-speed switch, used to select between the motor speeds.
Are there other part numbers for this?
Yes. It is also listed as 175904-50 and 5271-75.
Is it safe to change myself?
Only with the power off at the breaker. The plate covers live motor terminals, so the supply has to be isolated before it comes off.
