Hot water heater switch stuck on

Out for the weekend and noticed I have no hoy water on electric. I turned the switch on once I got set up and nothing. I go outside to make sure switch is on and it is. Now you can't push it off its STUCK. Anyone had this happen. I turned on the propane for hoy water to have some, but would prefer electric.

Anyone had this happen

rnkburg, Howdy;

Don't know how old your trailer is (you didn't mention,
nor what model it is, .....so,
First thought is corrosion. Second is cheap part.
Pull the circut breaker that controls it. You're
better off with propane heat anyway.
I only used one tank all of Sept. with washing dishes,
taking showers, and the heater working (nights only),
the last 2 weeks of Sept. (Utah, nights were getting
down to the 40's). That was leaving the HWH on all the time......

It's a 2012 raptor 300mp. I kicked the propane on last night. Turned it off before bed. And it seems as if the electric is working now. I haven't tried to turn the switch off though.
