Anyway to fix the push button switches in my Panasonic phone

Have quite a few landline Panasonic Easa-Phones, Model KX-T2315

REALLY like these units and want to keep. The pushbotton switches have
become unreliable, often yielding two numbers and sometimes not even
registering! The worst offenders are the telephones that haven't been used
for a while.

Any way to fix? I've tried contact cleaner injected in but that hasn't
taken.

Could be the type of cleaner, or the method of doing, or there simply is
no more 'contact' left in the switches. But since using over and over
seems to almost repair, suspect should be able to do something.

help!

I too have quite a few and like the system. I've purchased broken and surplus phones and simply replace the culprit buttons when they go out. Parts are probably no longer available and I don't see any reason to attempt to clean them when the issue is wear.

I have one of those. It's a good phone well worth fixing. I don't
want to take mine apart as long as it's working.

It uses individual "sealed" switches, which might be replaceable or
cleaned. I can't tell from the manual.

I believe wear is involved, but what really caught my attention was that
the least used phone is the one that does NOT work well. Swapped out so it
got daily use, and it came back a bit and the other phone has quit -
making me think/hope maybe there is a 'crud/corrosion' build up? And,
these phones may be salvageable.

Thanks ! The second URL I got a manual. You know I'm on dial-up here and
that first URL still had not filled a single image even after 10 minutes
so had to give up. Plus, these webpages don't even download in the
background, no, they hog the browser, hang it up, freeze the cursor, can't
even go off and work on other applications. Just have to sit there and
....wait.

I don't know how you find all these worthwhile websites so fast. But
thanks again for the manual.

That's the part number given in the service manual which you can download
here:

Hope it is the right one and available!

1. A fast internet connection. DSL at home. Cable modem at office.
2. I like to use Google image search. Finding a picture of what you
want is much easier than reading pages of text excerts. My first link
was an example, which admittedly might be too much for dialup.
3. I use the various Google search operators:
<https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en>
<http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html>
4. I sometimes use Blekko instead:
