Unplug it to turn it off.
Many people are able to do this simple wiring job for you if you can't.

Thanks. I would do that but the switch is encased in a plastic box that, in order to get into it, I would have to break the case. If I broke the case, the switch would not stay in place. Even if I soldered that in, then there's the problem of not being able to turn off the beater brush for hard floors. We have considered adding a small amount of solder to each connection to increase it's thickness BUT the opening in the plastic box through which we would have to do the soldering may be too small to get the solder wire through. When the switch completely stops working we'll have to try the least destructive option first and move to the more destructive as we go along.
I suppose I could just cut the wires and wire them together to have it set to constant on, same problem with hard floors there too. *sigh* cheap plastic switches
