I own a Dyson DC19 Animal and it has worked perfectly for a long time but recently it started acting strange. It turns on but stops working literally 2 seconds after I push the power button. I noticed this morning if I wiggle the power button a bit, I hear some electrical buzzing and the machine works until I stop wiggling the power button. Can someone please help me resolve the issue? I know this vacuum is outdated but it is still very good. I contacted Dyson but they didn't know what was causing this. Maybe someone here can help.

 

Once again, this is very off topic

Sounds like its... broken? RMA it lol. 

As far as I know, I think you need warranty to RMA something, this vacuum is 7 years out of warranty and I don't have the receipt. Looks like I can't RMA it sadly

This looks like a good idea, will buy and try and repair it. My grandad has better knowledge about these things than I do, can ask him.

Thanks for the help

@Curious Pineapple Thanks so much for the help! The switch came and I installed it, took a bit of time and patience (which I don't have :)) but eventually I got it to work again. Thanks so much!
