Found a little time to fix the door switch. I bent the 4 tabs on the back and the parts came right out. Back plate has a copper arm on it, then there was a large spring. The black post was last with a copper washer with 4 contact points on it.
Cleaned all of the parts with my new favorite cleaning tool...#00 grade steel wool! Worked perfect.
After cleaning I put a thin coat of dielectric grease in the main housing and some drops on the 4 contact points on the copper washer. Also put a drop on the end of the copper arm on the back plate. Pushed it all back together and rebent the tabs to hold it all in place.
Tested it for movement and it went smoothly. Also checked the switch with my multimeter and it read a compete circuit with the button out and open circuit with it pushed in. This one shouldn't cause any problems now.
