Had same. Opened it up and the cause was apparent. The part that holds the "springy thing" in place had widened. Same material as "springy thing". Squeezed it together and it's working fine for several years now. Easy fix, hard to descibe but you'll see when open. Try it, nothing to loose.

Wemoto, they'd get to you as quick as any of us posting them. I'm on about my third & they seem to last as long as the originals, cause they are hardly high quality anyway.

It'll be more fun to change when this one dies. The retaining screw snapped in the bracket so I just epoxied the switch on...
