A806 A702 Project

Thanks Chris,

 

           All you need is lid switch 206415 or 2-6415 , It has 3 terminals. Wire yours the same way it is now only the new top switch terminal will be black + to the light. The white from light will go to L2 on the back of your timer. There should be a spare terminal unused.  Joe

Lens in tub

Do you think the cutout with lens in tub is present on later a806’s? I figured maytag would have eliminated that when they got rid of the light. Is your tub from 1975 or earlier?

Thanks for the part number for the lid switch

Thank you all

 

 Good point on the missing lens in 75. Mine is a 72 . What I'll do next on a A310 top is:

 

1---The indentation is there but no lens. I'll drill a hole in each corner of the indentation gradually stepping up to about 3/8.

2---I will then cut the straight parts out with my all time favorite tool, My Dremel with the wand and EZ cutting discs

3--I will paint 2 coats of touch up epoxy on the raw edges & let dry

4--I'll use the Dremel to cut out some acrylic or clear plastic  and simply silicone it in place

 

 There are no water pressure issues to deal with--Ought to work

 

 I just checked the A310 TOP .I don't think I will remove the entire indentation. I think I will leave a 1/16 edge all around for the lens to lay in.

You might be able to use a chassis punch too. You would then only have to drill a pilot hole, and the two dies on either side would punch out a nice clean round hole when you tightened it up.

Chassis punch

Thats what I was planning to do, I have round and square punches. If i find one thst fits well, I’ll make a hole. A piece of plexiglass siliconed to the hole and it will be set.
