Parts for Maytag MDG6657BWW: 02 - Control Panel Parts

The Timer Knob Cap is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers and dryers. This cap covers the timer knob, giving a clean and polished appearance to the control panel.

Color: Chrome

The Timer Knob Cap might need replacement if it becomes cracked, discolored, or damaged due to prolonged use, accidental mishandling, or exposure to harsh cleaning agents. Additionally, frequent turning and adjustments over time may cause wear.

Symptoms of a failing Timer Knob Cap include:

• Difficulty turning the timer knob
• Loose or missing cap
• Timer knob slipping or not staying in place

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Color: chrome. The main part of the knob is about 1 inch in diameter. The handle is about 2 inches.

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed

Note: Depending on your dryer's model and serial numbers, your wire harness may also need to be replaced at the same time as the timer. Please call us if you have any questions.

• Provides four discrete temperature/setting positions for the refrigerator control circuit
• Sends the selected position signal to the cooling system to adjust running cycles
• Commonly replaced when the temperature dial feels loose, won't change settings, or the fridge doesn't respond to position changes
• Helps diagnose selector-related issues by allowing continuity and position testing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to prevent shock or injury
• Handle wiring and connectors carefully; note wire locations before removal for correct reinstallation
• Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity through positions
