Don't forget to unplug it first.

Dysonmedic dot com has excellent articles and pictures.

In the DC04 section the switch clearly has four connections - Live & Neutral both switched - a Double-Pole switch.

If your replacement switch has only two connections then it's a single pole switch and unsuitable - you have the wrong switch.

Are you absolutely sure the switch is defective? Has its operation been properly checked/tested?

A common fault in vacuums is a broken wire inside the cable near the plug - cut off about 6" and fit a new plug - often works wonders.

Good luck...
