Is it possible for it to work for some time and then stop working after sometime if the wiring was switched?



Like you I'm limited with electricity.



Are the wires "backstabbed" on the switch? Best to place the wires on

the screws when mounting them and avoid the push in connection --

backstabbed.

I'll have to check when I get home.. backstabbed is not a preferred method?

No. If so, put the wires on the screws.
