It's out of warranty. It works but only when I press and hold the button in, so I can't use it. I think it's something to do with the button mechanism.
Any ideas? It's not the robovac brand but obviously it wasn't cheap!

Thanks dad how do I find the right size switch?
You got three options. If you have a multimeter, check the current and look for switched that match the number it gives you. Option two, check the switch for numbers and look those up, if you don't find the exact switch you'll find a very close one. Option 3, pop that box open and stuff in any switch that's close in size and function. That's a simple toggle, so really all it does is touch two metal bits together to complete the circuit. If the switch isn't strong enough, it might burn out, but there's so such thing as too strong here. Hell, if you don't mind never being able to turn it off, you can just cut the switch out and twist the wires together. That's what my dad did for all his problems lol
That's excellent thanks dad!
