Answer John, The shafts of the knobs are D shaped and pull straight off. The timer knob is held on the shaft by a locking rod that extends to the rear of the timer. To remove the knob disconnect power to the machine, open and remove the control panel and using a small screwdriver pull the locking rod backward(out) to release the knob then pull the knob off. To access the controls remove the access panel. the panel is held in place by two screws and two tabs on the upper corners of the panel. Remove the screws and pull up and out to remove the panel. Remove the four screws two on each side holding the console to the dryer section side panels. Carefully pull down and out on the console. The console will now hang on the wires and tube to the pressure switch. Disconnect the wires from the start switch, remove the two screws holding the switch to the control mounting bracket, and pull the switch out the back of the console. Reverse the procedure and check the dryer for operation. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, June 22, 2017
