I am looking for a 5 button switch for a thermador oven model PRSE304S. The part number is 415047 (old # 15-10-309). Its not available from manufacturer. I haven’t found one searching the web, etx. Does anyone know of someone
that has one? Does anyone know of salvage yards for appliances that might have salvaged one of these. Apparently the switch is used in these Thermador stoves: Bosch PRDS304 , PRDS364GD Bosch PRDS364GL, PRDS366, PRDS484GD, PRDS484GG, PRDS484GL, PRSE304S, PRSE364GDS, PRSE364GLS. I am about to throw out my $5,000 stove for lack of this $60 part.

I too have the same issue as you with a 12 year old Thermador PRDS354GD-having the same 5-PB selector switch. I did notice that GE Monagram ranges also have switches which are the same size but I have not yet found a model with the same specs. They do have a switch GE PN WB24X10161 which has exactly the same pinout as our switch but it does not have a HD 20A contact between contacts 40&42 that we require for our baking oven element. I have spent quite a bit of time calling Bosch, Thermador and GE with no results. Thermador says that by federal law they are only required to supply parts for 7 years after a model is discontinued. This is BS for an appliance that should last 15-20 years. I have been unable to obtain the supplier of GE switches, or also a GE oven engineer that would have an idea of who makes these switches - who surely has a possible replacement for ours. Can’t get by the parts people who only go by Model/Part #- have no PDF’s of like switches with a spec sheet. Ideas are welcome -
Also interesting to note that the original part cost $65 when disc - while the GE switches cost $160-$260—better than $8-10,000 for a new range.
