    Sure...

    You can replace the switch, though it's not an inexpensive item.  They usually fail because they are doing something they are not ment to do -- maintain the water level. 



    That's a safety device, not an automatic feeder.  Unless you keep the level up manually and only depend on this feeder in an emergency, you'll spend lots of money replacing switches. 



    It could also be that the control has been installed at the wrong level.  That too would put excessive wear on the switch.

    Have you cleaned out the float chamber ever? Float might be hanging up?
