Silverton 620 On/Off switch

[Tommymick]

Hi all,
I have a new Traeger Silverton 620, still playing around with it trying to get comfortable. I've seen many posts about hardware and software problems, and fortunately I've had none of these.

My question here is about the on/off rocker switch. I have to press it "down" to turn on, and "up" for off (see photo in "on" position). This seems backward to me. Any body else have this?

Again. not a major problem, just a curiosity.

Ya, I find it odd as well. You could open the bottom, release the holding tabs, pop it out and rotate it 180. I don't think the hole is keyed. It really is just personal preference, and would be easy to change.

I have a silverton 810 and the switch is the same.... I don’t think much about it as it is on the back, and I leave it on to get updates.....

Yes I know I am reviving an old thread.

My switch broke & is being replaced by Traeger.

The installation instructions state that the On should be on the top.

I guess enough of you complained.

Conventional safety wisdom states if something were to fall on the switch it should place the switch in the Off position. They had it wrong from the start.

Has anybody ever changed the Power Switch on a Silverton 620?

I haven't tried to open it yet, but it looks like the only access is through the bottom panel.

Another engineer's good decision.

Yup bottom panel.

Most likely a requirement to obtain the IP23 ingress protection rating. The switch proably has a gasket seal to keep rain water out. If they add a side access panel that makes it more susceptible to water entry.

But the installation instructions state that the entry could be either from a side panel or a bottom panel.

Apparently, some models have access from a side panel.
