LG Dishwasher Power Button (Part 5020DD3009F)

thingiverse

This is a replacement power button (Part 5020DD3009F) that fits LG Dishwasher models LD-1420T1, LD-1420T2, LD-1421T2. It prints in one piece but just be very gentle with the tabs on the face plate when fitting as they are designed for the button to slide in but this print has less flex than the original so has to be popped in on one side risking breakage. The button action isn't amazing but it fits and got me out of trouble. When this one breaks i'll probably design a new version that aims for better button action and durability. My idea is to make a spring by connecting from the fixing tab to the main button body on the opposite side to the originating fixing tab by sweeping around the side with say 1mm thickness and 3-4mm width. Do that with both ends and i assume that will distribute the stress of a button press over a greater distance and reduce the likelihood of breakage compared with what we have now.
