SEBO Switch Frame for DART Upright — White

Every press of the DART's power control is taken by a small white frame behind it. SEBO lists that frame at position 31 of the DART schematic, where it is named the handle frame, and sells it under part number 7178WE. Its job is to hold the two-pole rocker switch square inside the handle so the button has something solid to register against instead of flexing into the moulding around it.

The frame sits in the middle of a tight little group on the drawing: the complete handle 7164WE at position 28, the sliding button 7035GS at 30, the rocker switch 05138 at 32, and the 4 x 14 screws listed at 35 that hold the assembly together. Understanding that stack matters when you order, because a switch that feels wrong is often the frame rather than the switch itself.

Failure shows up as a control that has gone vague — the button rocks, sits crooked, sinks below the surrounding plastic, or needs a second push before the machine responds. Once the frame has cracked at a corner the exposed edge tends to break further each time the handle is knocked, so the sensible moment to change it is at the first sign of movement. Fitting the frame and the switch together is the reliable way to get the alignment back, and it is a bench job measured in minutes rather than hours.
