I assume the switch you are talking about is the one on the front bottom of the machine. this switch should not slide back and forth easily, if it does than the linkage has been disconnected or broken. To check this you need to open the bottom of the machine and see what happens when you move the switch. To open the bottom you will need a torx screwdriver. First remove 4 long screws that go through bottom and into back, than remove two shorter screws that go through bottom into front cover, next remove 3 short bolts that hold the bottom to frame. If you can't see anything broken or loose after opening the bottom, you might need to remove the covers.
