Depends on what's wrong with it. If the contacts are just burned/carboned-up, clean them. If the mechanism is just worn out, no.
If you need to find a similar replacement, Google "rocker switch" and include current requirement [ie, 30 A], whether it is lighted when on, and/or color of the switch to help narrow the search.
When you find a manufacturer that makes a similar product, write down the item designation number. Then call Newark Electronics or other mail order electrical component supplier to see if they can order just one.
This may be a good place to start:

Oops! I thought they were rocker switches. You probably can find a similar type switch with the same diameter shaft...then put the original **** on it. Doubt anyone could tell the difference.
