Clean the function switch contacts and use a contact lubricant.

Yes.  Clean the contacts that are controlled by the knob used to select the different functions and ranges.

You should clean your electronic devices regularly. I think you should open it up and do a little dusting. https://www.theengineeringprojects.com/2019/09/schottky-diode-schottky-barrier-working-application-characteristics.html

Fixed!
I found two sprinned balls which maintain switch-wheel have lost their positions and the contact pressure was not enough to hold functionality.
Reinstall them with vaseline and back to life  :-DMM

thanks all for reply
