Kenneth,

You can remove the front panel and check the switch from the back side by
checking for open and closed resistances.  Compare to another switch you
know to be working - the contact layout for all switches are the same - they
are all DPST, so be certain to check both sides even though only one side is
used.  Check the soldering on that switch first though - a solder joint
failure is more likely than a switch failure.
