My GE top load washer timer control stopped working the knob would just free spin it wouldn't engage to set a wash cycle. After assuming that the timer control had gone bad I took to YouTube to see how difficult the repair would be, after watching a few videos I was lead to check the control knob first. What do you know it was the knob and not the timer. $9, two days shipping, A pair of needle nosed plyers and we were back in business!
