Anyone any experience with these?
Our sparks put one in about 3 years ago and its now failing. And no, its not the 60W tungsten blub, since if after opening the door I whack the pointy bit enough times it eventually comes on.
I had 3 different but functionally similar switches in our old house that lasted 14 years without trouble, so for this one to fail after 3 years is disappointing.
Tried squirting in some switch cleaner? Or even WD40?
Not yet. First step is to check that it looks OK if I take the lid off (wires not come loose or stuck spring etc).
Watch out for the pingfuckits.
Kill or cure.

Open, clean contacts up with very fine sandpaper. WD40 aka white spirit with a tiny bit of mineral oil isnt really a good thing.
