If you take the switch out, you can probably find some sort of part number on the switch itself;
searching online for that part number may be of help. Especially, try Grainger and DigiKey.

Jameco and/or Mouser are far better choices than Grainger...

...

I tend to agree about Grainger...when I was in facility maintenance I
bought a 3/4 HP induction motor from them, later I saw that our local
Fleet Farm had the same motor for $75 less than Grainger! (No
shipping charge factored)


Grainger w/o a vendor discount is about as pricey as it gets other than,
perhaps, McMaster-Carr. But, my recommendation was based on simply the
much larger selection of manufacturers and components from the
electronic supply folks who specialize instead of just a (relatively)
small number from which to choose...

And, of course, as another poster follow-up says, as long as the switch
has at least as high current rating as the original, "if it fits..."
(oh, that was in some other context, wasn't it??? )

....and, of course, we had an account as a multi-million dollar healthcare organization with Grainger.
