Does this switch auto return to the off position? What do I look for in a switch to find this info it seems impossible by looking at one online

This is a simple toggle switch. It stays flipped to the position you put it in. It does not return to the off position.

No, this switch does not automatically return to the off position. It has 3 distinct positions. On-Off-On. You must physically move it to each position. Try searching for a "momentary" switch.

It does not auto return. It is designed to switch between two sources of power. The "off" position must be passed through which insures the new source will sync properly and not cause damage. I used the switch to allow my friend to switch between line power and an dc/ac inverter in case of power outage. Without power he cannot adjust the bed to allow him to transfer to his wheelchair, leaving him trapped in the bed until the outage is over. He was terrified a hurricaine would trap him in the bed for days.

I have used one for over 10 years and even bought a back up in case - our cat refuses to use the new style - she is a main coon and set in her ways - on yours - sounds like the switch is stuck or fried in the on position - check out or repair the switch. good luck to you

The toggle switch is worth the money it operates just fine no problems, hope this helps.

Yes, there's an override button that makes it work like a normal switch. It will also keep doing whatever you programmed.

It will stay off. It will not turn back one unless you flip the switch again. Hope this helps.

I am unaware of a "switch problem". Our unit works very well... we have had it for 6 months and use it daily for 30-60 minutes.

Sorry, I don't know since I never tried to check a switch. Most switches have an indicator light to let you know if it is active.

Automagically goes to keep "Keep Warm" when cooking time selected is completed. Never looked for an off switch, I just unplug it when cooking completed/ready to serve.

This is NOT a momentary switch. Therefore, when you actuate it to off it stays there, when you actuate it to on, it stays there. With two "on" positions I use it as a reversing switch for a stepping motor. Then I can run it forward or reverse or off.

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.

Detented?......haven't heard that word in a while. Facing the installed switch, turning to the far left is the off position and I do believe it's detented. You feel and hear a click when you turn it to the far left or counter clockwise.

There are 4 switches on the bottom of the controller, make sure the one labeled THRO is in the correct position, for me that is the OFF position. These switches reverse the direction.

I bought it and was not the correct one. They replaced switch with exact one as the first one ,still incorrect one. They refunded money , I then went to a junk yard and got correct switch.

I don't have the manual anymore... I pulled my out of the box and left it as is, installed it and it worked great... I assumed that the switches came from the factory set to defaults... So I didn't want to use either option...
