Broken Maytag End Of Cycle Bell Striker

[tennblondie78]

The plastic piece that the end of cycle bell striker attaches to on my Maytag DE808 has broken in half. I guess the plastic has gotten brittle with age. Does anyone have that part anywhere in their parts stashes that would be willing to sell to me? I really miss my chime at the and of the cycle. I run it on Permanent Press just so I can hear the continuous chime, which probably led to my striker's early demise...

Customer abuse?

Did you find the part? Let me know if you still need it.

I never found the part.

Make one?

Out of metal? Without seeing it, it's difficult for me to say, but seems like the thing to do to ensure that it lasts.

I never knew

Maytags had chimes!!!

They kind of sounded like an early doorbell. Or a few chimes off of a wind up alarm clock.

The higher end older Maytag dryers had an actual bell chime. It uses a bell like what is on old alarm clocks.
