I have the same problem with a VH Vornado heater No need to change switch. The switch has to sets of contacts, but uses only one. This one is burnt out
Just reconnect the black cable (hot) to the opposite free switch connector. Then interchange the white (resistance) with the brown cable (ground for switch light)
You may have to turn around the switch because the heater will turn on on the "OFF" position
Check your cables with tester, to avoid any short circuit.
