    Right side socket of Double wall socket switch won't switch off.

    Double wall socket switch won't switch off. It just flips back to on. The left side one is fine. It used to do this 3 years ago then was working again. Now it's back. Do I have to replace the entire socket unit? Is that easy to do and legal on your own? Thank you
