There should be a definite audible click when you press down on the switch. Most switches also latch so that there is a little play in the foot switch when it is on.
Possible problems included - blown fuse in the plug, damaged cord, failed starter capacitor.
It may be an idea to take it to a local vacuum repair store and get an estimate for repair.
