Not likely.The on-off switches are cheap plastic, and you will likely find the switch, the plug, the wire, or the motor has died. Sorry.

what vac ?

Some models have a fuse that blows but it is not replacable.

You can do that but you absolutely shouldn't. The filter is what prevent particles from entering the motor and what creates a break for incoming water. That way a solid stream of vacuumed water doesn't go directly up the motor.

Unlike the old days few vacs today have a blower facility. In the old days many vacs used a single exhaust port the hose could fit into for blowing and in particular using some of the supplied accessories - such as the famous spray gun loved and hated by everyone in equal measure. Modern vacs tend to have a diffused exhaust usually through several ports, perhaps because of imagined safety concerns. I suggest you check the operator instructions.

The best thing for a basement that is vulnerable to flooding is a small sump with a permanently wired automatic submersible pump in it. Such pumps are relatively cheap and available in many qualities. While such an installation will not keep a basement dry it will ensure the water level rises only enough for the majority to flow into the sump and be pumped away without you needing to do anything. Wet vacs of my experience either have a float valve to prevent water ingress into the motor or a switch to cut off the power if the level rises too high. Many such vacs have a powerful motor generating much heat and are only suitable for fairly short duty cycles. When used continuously the internal heat build up can distort plastic and melt thermal safety fuses. It is impossible to guess what the trouble might be and that will only be revealed by checking. With vacs the first suspect is the power cord and the second is the switch...

It would be a good idea since the points inside the switch are welded together and produce heat.

Needs a filter bag for dry stuff or a mesh filter for wet.

Take it to your local vac shop for repair. Switches are not that expensive.
