I’m looking for a working Maytag Cycle Control Switch, part no. 3-04473, a.k.a. 304773, for a DE808 electric dryer.

I might have a spare. I’ll dig around in my parts stash tonight.

Found a few. This one was the nicest - smooth movement of the off switch. From a 608/808.

Yours for the cost of shipping.

Thanks Ben. It looks good! Does it have a smooth operating wafer board switch the solenoid links to with the paper clip type link? How much to ship standard ground to 809 E. Holland Ave., Fresno CA. 93704?

I just shot you a PM.

Ben is da MAN!!

 

[madzack]

Yes he is! Switch is already on its way. Can’t wait to get it.

Switch from Ben arrived yesterday. Looks great. Can’t wait to install it.

Awesome!

Once you have this all sorted, please do open up your old switch and post a couple of pictures if possible.
It would be great to see how these fail, and determine if they are repairable.

 

[madzack]

Will do.

Finally got the new switch from Ben installed. It works great!

WRT rebuilding the switch. So far the brown “plastic-board” backing appears to have been pressed onto tabs on the edges of the connectors. It looks like each of the tabs would need to be ground off or possibly clipped to remove the back. It doesn’t appear to be glued.

I may have to sacrifice the back to tell if there are any internal components that can be repaired.

I’ll keep you posted and will send pictures
