Usually it is gunk and taint getting accumulated on metal contacts inside.
If you really have to repair a micro-switch without soldering, you can 
disassemble them, clean thoroughly contacts inside and metal plate with 
Isopropyl alcohol, let it dry out and reassemble.
Required tools:
1. Needle to pry open a plastic cap and tweezers (those could be bought 
at hardware store)
2. Steady hands (can't be bought)
3. Good eyesight (you guessed it, also can't be bought).
