Red bipolar push button LF 1319614

A red bipolar push button controls the electrical circuit in professional coffee machines and dishwashers by completing or breaking two live conductors simultaneously. When pressed, the button's internal contacts close, allowing current to flow to the appliance's motor, heating element or pump. Releasing the button opens the contacts again, stopping the flow and halting the operation. This dual-conductor design increases safety by ensuring both sides of the circuit are disconnected, reducing the risk of residual current or accidental restart when the appliance is serviced or cleaned.

The operator presses the button to start a brewing cycle, initiate a wash programme or activate a vending sequence. Once the cycle finishes, the button returns to its off position automatically, ready for the next use. The push action is direct and requires no twisting or locking, so the operator can start or stop the appliance with a single fingertip press.

The button is constructed from a red thermoplastic body that houses the internal contacts. These contacts are rated to carry 16 A at 250 V, matching the supply requirements of the connected equipment. The red colour provides a clear visual signal, distinguishing the start or power control from other buttons on the appliance panel.

This replacement push button fits a range of professional coffee machines and dishwashers, including Bianchi, Brasilia, EP 4600 M, IME Omniwash, Lavazza and Sofia models. It is listed in the catalogue under spare parts for electrical controls in commercial catering equipment.
