Yeah. LMC lists p/n: 36-0620 for $5.95.
Funny, I needed one right now -- last week -- and bought a Dimmer Switch from O'Reilly's for $26.38. [Incl tax, and w/ Mil Disc]. It was made by Standard and had a ''Lifetime Warranty.''
Still made in Taiwan. [P/N: STD DS72]

The last one was from 7/17, so almost 5 years in a daily driver isn't bad for a part that gets stomped-on multiple times a night.

awbanks: I had your exact gripe, and R&R'ed the Dimmer Switch and that got it.
While you're down there inspect the wiring to the plug and terminals, but most likerly it's just the Switch.
