Sounds like you narrowed down the problem, at least it has an actual switch, my Fagor uses push buttons on the pad. (turns itself on every time there's a power outage). Can you get into the switch with spray contact cleaner, or a bit redneck but maybe jumper the internal one and instal an inline switch.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
