The problem i had was they little switches can move past a metal tab in the the houseing of the control clam shells. I ran into that problem, its a small metal flange that it buts up against and it it isnt in just right the entire switch will just push all the way back. I dont think yo broke the swtich because it is pretty hardy the end is made of metal and not plastic. I hope this helps!

If you've only killed one you might be able to ask the service department if they have one sitting around. I bet they screw up once in a while in the shop and end up with extras.
