I was wondering if you could add a switch to an power cord in between socket and appliance to knock off the power to electric appliance.:D

I could, and have done. Could you?

What unit are you looking to do this to?

Power button is broken?

Shouldn't be a problem in putting a switch in the circuit of the power cord. Just make sure you know what you are doing, and have the switch the right way around not to mention that your cabling is correct.

If in doubt? DON'T!

a simple in-line torpedo switch will do it. Absolute doddle to fit.

Easy job. Just be sure that the switch you use is rated for the current & consumption of the appliance.
