 In my experience I generally get my stuff on ebay and through developing businesss (and bartering) relationships with other members on here. Also, If you can find appliance dealers in your area (especially in the smaller outlying towns) that have been around for 40 or more years they sometimes have old parts inventory that they have never bothered to clear out. Many of them don't even know exactly what they have anymore. If you get really lucky, sometimes you can even get shown to a bunch of old boxes marked "timers" or "switches" and the the treasure hunt can begin! | ||

Parts Likely Needed To Keep A MT A806 Running
I would grab a timer, timer dial, air dome hose, : U shaped inlet hose : outer tub to pump hose, and maybe a an extra motor if you don't already have one. If you save the extra switches for the donor machine [ WL, WT and SP SW, which you are very unlikely to ever need for the rest of your life ] you should be in good shape.

This is an air dome hose. The larger end connects to a fitting at the bottom of the outer tubs side, while the smaller end connects to the water level selector switch. The air trapped within this hose as the water rises in the tub acts against a diaphragm in the selector switch to terminate the fill when the selected level is reached.
