The little rocker switch that turns the warmer drawer on and off underneath a Simpson or Westinghouse freestanding stove gets a lot of use over the life of the oven, and eventually the contacts wear out or the rocker mechanism breaks. Once that happens the warmer drawer either won’t come on, won’t turn off, or sits in an intermittent state that is not safe to leave running.
This is the genuine Simpson / Westinghouse / Electrolux warmer drawer rocker switch, part code 4055565032, listed by Westinghouse Australia as Switch Rocker W/drawer.

Compatibility
This 4055565032 rocker switch is the standard warmer drawer on / off switch for Simpson 3U Neptune, Saturn, Polaris, Jupiter, Apollo, Gemini, Cosmos, and Alpha series freestanding stoves, plus the matching Westinghouse 4U Neptune, Saturn, Polaris, Jupiter, Apollo, and Gemini series, and the related WLE525WA, WLE533WA, WLE535WA, WLE624WA, WLE626WA, and WLE646WA models. Per the Westinghouse AU spare parts catalogue and the related bezel part 0545002693 listing, this is the same warmer drawer switch used across the broad PAJ805W, PAJ808W, and WLE ranges. The verified models list appears in the table at the end of this description. The switch sits behind the warmer drawer bezel (0545002693) and is normally replaced together with the bezel if both are showing wear. Always cross check the part code on the back of the failed switch before ordering.
How to Use and Installation Notes
- Switch off the stove at the wall isolator and confirm power is dead at the switch.
- Open the warmer drawer fully and remove the drawer from its runners per the user manual to expose the switch panel.
- Locate the failed switch behind the bezel and photograph the wiring positions before disconnecting.
- Compress the retaining tabs from the rear of the switch and push the failed switch forward out of the bezel.
- Fit the new 4055565032 switch into the bezel from the front, ensuring the tabs click home.
- Reconnect the wiring to the same terminals as photographed.
- Refit the warmer drawer onto its runners.
- Restore power and verify the warmer drawer switches on and off cleanly with the new rocker.
Fitting and Safety Note
Safety note: Mains powered switch. Only fit yourself if you are a registered electrical worker, otherwise hire a qualified electrician. Confirm the switch is wired correctly so that the off position actually breaks the circuit.
