9SM17013-3 - Lincoln Electric S17013-3 Selector Switch and Mounting Kit

Restore Your Welder's Performance with the Lincoln 9SM17013-3 Switch Assembly

Is your Lincoln Electric welder stuck in one mode, or does the selector knob feel loose and unresponsive? It might be time to replace the selector switch. The Lincoln Electric 9SM17013-3 Selector Switch & MTG Assembly is the genuine replacement part you need to get your machine back up and running smoothly. When you are out in the field or busy in the shop, you cannot afford to have a machine that won't switch processes or polarity correctly. This OEM part ensures that when you click that dial, your machine responds exactly as it should, giving you the control you need to lay down perfect beads.

This isn't just a cheap aftermarket knock-off; it is the exact same assembly that came in your machine from the factory. The kit includes the selector switch itself along with the mounting assembly, which is a huge time-saver. You won't have to struggle with retrofitting old brackets or worrying if the new switch will line up with the faceplate. The "MTG" in the part number stands for mounting, meaning Lincoln has done the hard work of pre-assembling the mounting hardware so you can simply swap out the old unit and bolt this one in. It is designed to handle the vibration of a job site generator-welder and the dust of a fabrication shop.

A failing selector switch can be more than just an annoyance; it can be a safety hazard or cause poor weld quality. If the contacts inside the switch are worn or carbon-fouled, you might experience unstable arcs or fluctuating settings. By replacing the entire assembly with this genuine Lincoln part, you eliminate those variables. You get crisp, positive detents when turning the knob and solid electrical connections that handle the power your machine puts out. Don't risk your weld quality on questionable parts.

Installation is generally straightforward for those familiar with welder repair. Always remember to disconnect all power to the machine—unplug it or disconnect the battery—before opening the case. With the 9SM17013-3, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment. Keep your Lincoln a Lincoln by using only genuine parts, and get back to welding with confidence knowing your machine is operating at peak performance.
