Default Re: Mains capacitor job?

It is an RC snubber intended to prevent contact arcing as the switch opens.

Remember that the 44 has three switched mains outputs, and the switch could be operated when a connected power amp is delivering significant power - hence the need for something to stop the contacts from burning when a high current is interrupted.
