DOD FX69B Grunge Problems

I've had a Fx69b grunge pedal for a few months now and today the foot switch stopped working. I opened up the back of the pedal and tried to see if I could get to the under side of the foot switch. I couldn't so I put the cover back on, plugged it into my amp and it worked. But after a while I came back and the switch wouldn't work again. Any recommendations on what to do or should I take it to somewhere like guitar center?

Wow, they still make the Grunge pedal, LOL! DoD/Digitech will probably fix the switch under warranty, email them. I see you own a swollen pickle and a rat both of which are way more authentically grungey than the Fx69b. Score yourself an old mosrite fuzzrite or clone, a univox superfuzz type pedal, an MIJ boss DS1 and a DoD OD250 and you will have every popular seattle distortion sound.

No I bought this one used and on the back of the pedal it said that removing the back of it will void the warranty.

They might repair it anyway, Ibanez doesn't care if you are the 2nd owner or if you tamper with the pedal even though the Ibanez warranty is non-transferrable and opening it up voids the warranty to boot. Can't hurt to ask the manufacturer. The 90s style DoD switches are some kinda cheap plastic SPDT I think. Its been awhile and I can't find any info on the model of switch on page 1 of my google search. Having someone fix it for you might cost you more than you paid for it. We are talking about a readily available cheapie here. I loved the great value of DoD pedals as youngster, but as I outgrew the mediocre tone of their dirt boxes I wound up giving them away as birthday gifts to people I disliked or using them as paperweights and doorstops. If I had a grunge pedal laying around I would give it to you for free but I never owned that one, it just seemed lame that they tried to cash in on the music that was huge when I was learning to play and I was outgrowing DoD by the time it came out.
