This is great, thank you. My switch has been broken for two years, now I can get to fixing it.

Question: Once we have taken it apart, do we simply replace the switch or is there a contact on the switch itself, PCB or wire that needs to be re-attached or adjusted?

Thanks!

where did you get the part to replace it? Can’t find just the little switch anywhere.

This is perfect. But where do you get a new switch? Can’t find just the tiny part anywhere.
