Hallo Michael,

You didn't say if your unit is factory or kit, but my guess is the front
panel assembly is not properly inserted into the front panel sheet metal. 
Make sure the BAND switch is centered in the panel cutout and not binding on
the left side.  If it's binding, you will need to remove the front panel
assembly and reseat to the sheet metal.  

Otherwise you may need a new front panel assembly from Elecraft if the
switch itself is bad.  I doubt that switch can be easily repaired behind the
rubber buttons but you should contact K3support at elecraft.com for advice.

73 & GL!

Bill
