Default Sounds like a switch cleaning

is in order. Take it apart Really carefully, small springs may fly far away! Maybe even have the part schematic as a reference nearby, clean carefully with your favorite 'mild' auto cleaner (carb cleaner is good on plastic/rubber), then reassemble. It'll run like new!
