A replacement pan head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components. Its standard #8 coarse thread and 3/8-inch length secure trim, brackets, and small assemblies for stable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small parts in household appliances
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing #8-18 pan head screws
• Restores secure mounting where vibration or wear caused looseness
• Works with sheet-metal or threaded inserts designed for #8-18 screws

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct #2 Phillips or compatible driver to avoid cam-out
• Thread in straight and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
• Keep small screws away from children and dispose of old fasteners safely

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 replacement dryer timer advances the cycle sequence and lets the dryer move through timed and automatic settings so clothes dry on the selected cycle. Restores selector/timer control when the original timer fails. What it does:

• Controls cycle advancement so the dryer progresses through timed and automatic cycles
• Enables selection of timed and automatic dry settings via the control knob
• Common symptom: dryer won't advance through cycles or stays stuck on a setting
• Needed if the timer knob doesn't respond, the timer won't turn, or cycles do not complete

• Always disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repair
• 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
