FWIW, I have had several of these switches go bad over a 5/6 year time
frame.
When i have problems with the O/D, it has usually been the hole in the
valve on the right side of the unit that is clogged up. I pull the valve
and give it a good cleaning and blow it out and it works great again. I
also lost a solonoid once--but if was fried so easy to tell it was bad:)
