A replacement rotary control knob that restores reliable manual control of your appliance's temperature and function settings. Replace a cracked, worn, or missing knob to regain safe, precise control of the appliance. What it does

• Fits onto the appliance control shaft and lets you turn and select cooktop/oven functions and temperatures.
• Replaces knobs that are cracked, broken, loose, or that spin on the shaft and won't adjust settings.
• Designed to match the original knob spline pattern for a proper, secure fit.

• Disconnect power (and gas, when applicable) and make sure the appliance is cool before servicing.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align splines and push the new knob on until fully seated.
• If the old knob is stuck, use a cloth for grip and gently rock while pulling—avoid excessive force.

This is the cycle timer for a washing machine. It controls the sequence and duration of wash, rinse, and spin cycles so the washer progresses through a complete program as selected.

• Rotates internal contacts to switch the motor, pump, fill valves, and spin on and off in order
• Helps resolve issues like a washer not advancing cycles, stopping mid-cycle, or skipping wash/rinse/spin
• Also addresses irregular cycle timing or a timer that won't turn/advance when set

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply for safety
• Access is typically from the control console; transfer wiring one at a time to matching terminals
• Mount the timer to the panel and ensure the timer shaft aligns with the control knob and dial
• Test a short cycle after reassembly to ensure proper advance through each step

The Timer Knob is an OEM component for GE washers. It serves as the interface control to set the desired wash cycle time. Constructed of durable plastic with grip textures, the timer knob twists smoothly to select between options.

Causes of a bad timer knob can include cracking or splitting of the plastic material over multiple years of use. The internal mechanisms that assist movement may also degrade.

Symptoms of a bad timer knob include:

• Difficulty twisting the knob to desired settings
• The timer dial constantly moving out of place
• Certain time options becoming impossible to select
• Knob possibly detaching entirely from the control center

This genuine GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with related brands such as Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models.

This is a replacement pointer for control panels and timer knobs that restores a clear, visible indicator of the selected setting. It helps you quickly see and select the correct cycle or temperature. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, broken, faded, or missing pointer so the control position is visible
• Aligns with the control knob to show the active setting or timer position
• Improves usability when the original pointer is worn or detached
• Matches the original white/dark gray color for a clean appearance

• Always disconnect power (unplug the appliance or shut off the breaker) before servicing
• Remove the control knob as needed, then press the pointer into the control shaft or bezel until it seats
• Do not force the part; stop and verify the part number and control style
• Refer to the appliance owner's manual or a repair guide for model-specific removal steps

• Access usually requires removing the control panel or console—handle trim and fasteners carefully
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting harnesses to ensure correct reassembly

• Shields the opening from dust and moisture
• Replace if the plug is missing, cracked, hardened, or won't stay seated
