I did this with my DG106...It came with the house and I did a refresh of all parts that were bad or could go bad. The swap required drilling new mounting holes for the timer, since the 106 timer is different than the 806 timer, finding a sungold timer dial and knob, installing a ballast and looking at the wiring diagrams for the old and new consoles. I since replaced the 4 button panel with the 2 button 'Low Heat' and 'Regular Heat' buttons since my next goal is to convert it to the DG model..(cant remember the number) that sensed vent moisture for the Auto-Dry feature and install a drum light.(Like I need more projects:)

Had to dig deep into my archives to find it. Front and back. There is a bit of pitting on the chrome on the front. Depending on how creative one want's to get, this has the optional tub light. Also have a matching dryer console. |

An 806 of the proper vintage should come along some day. Be patient and keep a watchful eye out.
Here's the spray paint I used. It's not a perfect match but it suited me. If you can find a better match use it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO beekeyknee's LINK |

Duke,
The dial you will need is part# 2-4484 (204484 in the computer world) Timer dial - A806 - with Permanent Press - prior to Series "01". That's the description in the parts manual. Click on the link and scroll down to Reply #10 and look at picture 4. That's what it looks like. Your chrome knob will fit this dial. I assume you have an ebay account. Log into it and type in those two numbers. Then try combinations, like the numbers and Maytag dial or Maytag timer dial or Maytag timer. Sometimes it will bring up different things. If it doesn't find anything, a box will pop up and ask you if you would like to be notified by email if one shows up. Click it and keep an eye on your in box. Keep looking and let me know if you find one by the time you need it. I suppose you know that the washer knobs and dryer knobs are different? The chrome and acrylic knobs are interchangeable. But only from washer to washer and dryer to dryer. That control console will be fine once it's painted and the dial and knob are changed. CLICK HERE TO GO TO beekeyknee's LINK |
