Hi, there-
I had the same issue. Rather than buy a replacement sensor, I removed the old sensor and cleaned the gunk off the area where the plastic parts touch each other on the sensor. After cleaning, I reinstalled it and it works perfectly. This was several months ago, and still doing it's job!
Hope this helps- Henry

Hi,

I did already have a go at cleaning but given its been a while and I can't find any I guess its worth another go.
