    My husband took it apart, may or may not have broken it. How do I reassemble this? TIA

    The white part, is the sliding selector. The switch is a rocker type. The copper "C" are the parts that select the mode. Door & ON share a trace on the switch. The other side is OFF or ON.
    So, the sliding white part should be removed to accommodate the copper parts. I haven't done this in a very long time, so my info is sketchy.
    Would you post a pic of the sliding white part? Side that isn't visible.

    Looks like maybe the copper snaps onto the white part, does that match your recollection?

    Yes. That's I why asked to see the other side of the sliding block.

    Also @rimfire7, I'm not trying to lecture, but you might tell the husband to take pics as he disassembles something next time.

    Making a habit of photographing as things "progress" has saved my bacon more than once.
