Powering off Equipment-Silly question


Hello

Is there any difference between powering off an amp by pulling the cord out of the wall vs hitting the Off Button?

I ask, because my amp has a wood face plate and due to the cold weather it has swelled to the point where the power button is stuck and will not release.

Will any harm be done by pulling the power cord out of the wall? I would think that both pretty much do the same thing,, ie, cut of AC to the unit.. however given the choice, (which I do not have) it is advisable to use the power switch.

now that the switch is in the extended-out position, perhaps you might spray some lubricant (WD40, Teflon, etc) onto a Q-tip & then apply that around the button's perimiter such that the constricing surface is lubricated, which might improve the situation?
