And how can I fix it?

Welcome to the forum LuckyAmbrose!
My water heater is a Suburban with both gas and electric element. The propane switch is inside, but the electric switch is inconveniently located outside on the heater. Add to that the switch is buried nearly out of sight and is down for "ON" and up for "OFF" (backward from what you'd expect).
Edit: Just FYI, my switch failed in the "OFF" position. It's not that uncommon that they fail (mine was 8 yrs. old), but I guess it's possible for them to fail in the "ON" position as well.
