• Failure can cause the feature not to engage or to stay on after the cycle ends
• Knob may feel loose or fail to click when the switch is worn
• Mounts in the control console and interfaces with the external selector knob

This is a D-shaped knob insert or spring clip that fits inside a control knob and connects it to the control shaft on the dryer's front panel. It ensures the knob grips the shaft properly so you can turn the timer or selector. Replace this insert if your control knob spins freely without engaging the shaft or if the knob feels loose and won't stay in position.

This control knob assembly replaces a worn, broken or missing knob so you can safely select settings and operate the appliance without slipping or inaccurate selection. It restores a positive grip and clear user control. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing control knob to restore manual control operation
• Provides a secure, easy-to-turn interface for setting cycles or temperatures
• Stops slipping, cracking, or broken-turn symptoms that prevent proper selection
• Restores clear pointer/positioning for accurate setting selection

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Most knobs pull straight off the shaft and push onto the replacement; fit before final installation.
• Inspect shaft and mounting for damage; replace any worn adapters or retainer clips if present.

Dryer won't stop running or timer knob doesn't advance? The timer control regulates cycle duration. Moderate DIY repair, about 30 minutes to replace.

This lint filter catches lint and debris during the drying cycle to maintain proper airflow through the dryer's exhaust system. A clogged or damaged filter restricts airflow, which forces longer dry times, increases energy costs, and creates a fire hazard from lint buildup in the vent system.

Replace this filter if the pull handle is broken or cracked, the mesh is torn or separating from the frame, rust or metal flakes are visible on the screen, or lint is passing through instead of being trapped. The filter is white, measures approximately 20 inches long (excluding the handle) by 8.5 inches wide, and slides directly into the lint filter slot -- no tools needed, takes under a minute. Clean the filter before every load for best performance.
