I'd take it apart and clean it.
if you see arcing, maybe the spring isn't strong enough.

Maybe spray some contact cleaner in it, slide it vigorously back & forth, rinse & repeat,,
If you take it apart, sweep the floor first, then drop some towels so anything that hits the floor doesnt run across the place & hide behind anything,, Theres some pretty small stuff in there, IIRC. Its not hard, but anyone can sneeze or twitch at an inopportune moment & create a serious OHH No moment.,
