The wall switch in the laundry room broke and there is no light.

I guess it’s going to be dark loads only for awhile...............

1. If you are going to need an electrician, you can purchase those stick-up battery-powered

dome lights, which work reasonably well. I had to do that in a hallway once and it got me by until I could get it fixed.

12. Appreciate the good advice you have offered

It was very thoughtful.

The OP was posted was a pun and nothing serious, I apologize for that not being more clear.

3. Be careful that you don't trip and fall, spilling your laundry

It would be tragic to watch all that unfold.

5. I loaded the washer after the sun was up this morning.

Add light bulbs to my shopping list today.
Gotta pick up apples, bread and something to repair a broken birdbath (again).

Thanks for all the laughs, Sherman A1

10. Easy to fix

You need:
New switch
Screwdrivers, flat tip and Phillips, or a cordless drill with a Phillips bit and a flat-tip screwdriver.
Needle nose pliers
Voltage tester (looks like a light bulb with two wires coming out of it)
Probably also a flashlight

1. Turn off the breaker that controls the laundry room lights.

2. Remove the cover plate and the screws holding the switch in the box.

3. Grab the handle of the switch (the thing you flip up to turn the lights on) and pull the switch away from the box.

4. Holding the plastic part of the test leads on the voltage tester, touch one to the green ground screw and the other to one of the other two screws on the switch. If the light doesn't come on, touch the green screw and the screw you didn't test the first time. If it doesn't come on either time, you're ready for the next step.

5. Notice that the wires are wrapped around the screws in kind of a hook.

6. Loosen the green screw. Spread the hook out and pull the wire off the screw. Put it on the same screw on the new switch, squeeze the hook back together, and tighten the screw. How tight? Well, imagine you've been assigned to squeeze Rush Limbaugh's nuts in a vise...

7. Pick one of the two (or three, if it's a three-way switch that shouldn't be in a laundry room anyway - those are made so you can turn the lights off from two different places) remaining wires and do the same thing. Just connect the wire to the new switch using the same screw it was on the old switch.

8. Do the last wire the same way you did the first two.

9. Put the switch back on the box the way it was when you took it off,

10. Turn on the breaker. You shouldn't hear any snapping, crackling, popping or humming. (If you do, turn the breaker off, pull the switch back out and retighten all the screws just as tight as you can possibly get them. The drill comes in handy for this.) Turn on the lights. If the installation is secure and the lights come on when you turn them on, put the cover plate back on and you're done.

11. Really appreciate the kind and well thought out response here

It is a good tutorial on replacement of a broken switch.

The OP I posted was a pun and I’m guessing that I didn’t make that clear enough in the post for which I do apologize.
