Hello everyone,

We have these light switches. When pressing them, they no longer activate the light, and there is no more clicking sound when they engage.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is there possibly a simple way to "adjust" them yourself and avoid calling an electrician?
They are only 3 years old. At first, it was just one, but now there are two...

Thanks for your help

Yes.
They are broken. Nothing to adjust. Call a professional!

So there are three opinions that completely agree.

So if I have the same switches installed again, do I potentially have to replace them again in 3 years? That’s really poor quality! Such switches should last at least 20 years, shouldn’t they?!
