Thanks for all the replies.
After I fixed the emergency I had to run some errands. I'll have to replace the switch eventually but the emergency is over for now, plus it reminded me of some deferred maintenance I need to do on the system.
A couple of da kines had vibrated somewhat loose from the whatchamacallits and every time the pump started the connections were sparking hot enough for the cheap plastic housing to stink. I tightened everything down and it's acting more civilized for the time being. I should have checked this at the beginning but it really smelled like burning metal and not plastic.
