ATO problems

I have had my RA running for months now without problems. I have not changed any coding for months. Starting this weekend my ATO started turning on even when the float switch was up. Thankfully I have a timer set on my ato pump or I would have had a nice little flood. I started looking in to it more today and noticed that my switch is now reading backwards. When the float is up it is reading as on; when it is down it is reading as off. Any ideas on how this complete flip could happen? Really makes no sense to me because I have not changed a single thing.

How weird?
Did you clean it recently?
If you flip the float, it should invert the function.

no changes at all. just typical water changes. Makes no sense to me. I guess I will just run it with the switch inverted and see what happens. maybe it will switch back to normal again after a few days haha. who knows.

yeah the floats that come with the RA are junk.
