LiftMaster K101C0232-1 Call Button for EL1SS Telephone Entry System

LiftMaster K101C0232-1 Call Button for EL1SS Telephone Entry System

The K101C0232-1 call button is the visitor input button used on the LiftMaster EL1SS telephone entry system. In daily use, this button can see heavy wear from weather exposure, repeated pressing, vandalism, or age. When it starts sticking, feels loose, has a damaged face, or no longer consistently starts the call sequence, replacement may be needed. The button is only one part of the EL1SS calling circuit, so it should be diagnosed as part of the full system. If the unit has no power, does not dial, fails to activate a relay, or has keypad/programming issues, those problems may not be caused by the button. This replacement part is best ordered by the exact EL1SS model and K101C0232-1 parts reference.
