Figured it out, methinks!

It needs a new wire hanrness, or at least new connectors to the microprocessor(tiny ones) The existing ones are in varying conditon and some have "holding bends" only on one side, others are broken off to just a tab, with no real grab on the front and back of what looks like a foil connection to the microprocessor. No wonder it worked for a moment, then when moved it did not. I am not confident about soldering, Like Bobby from Boston, so I am getting a new wire harness.
The connections to the control switch look sketchy as well, so this will be a completely rebuilt machine when done.
 
Chattering bell solved by soldering connections

Beginning about two weeks ago, my De606 dryer bell started chattering when the dryer was started. I figured it was the control switch again (replaced the switch 3 years ago). I bought another switch on eBay -- $30 -- and it arrived earlier this week, I wired it in, but the chattering still happened :( Following the advice of Bobby in Boston, I soldered the push-on connectors to their foil positions on the control box and that seems to have solved my problem. No more bell chattering. Thanks Bobby!

Anybody need a switch?
