Since switches have moving mechanical parts, over time they will wear out and may begin to fail eventually requiring replacement. This switch has a plastic body and it is sold individually.

Remove the switch cover, then press on the tabs that are holding the switch in and remove the switch. Remove the wire leads from the old switch to the new switch one at a time to get them on the correct terminals. Press the new switch back in. And replace the switch cover.
