I have just super-glued the plastic supports for the switch back together on mine, the plastic had perished.

I had a similar problem. The switch mechanism has probably collapsed. I bought a new switch and it is easy to install by unscrewing the inner door panel to get access. From memory about $20. Make sure you turn power off first.
