How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6008113 / WP3364293 Timer Knob

Googled Whirlpool and talked to a representative, explaining that the knob used for selecting the wash cycle sheered off at the back and I needed a new knob to replace it. The sales rep. told me I needed the timer replaced. I found it strange that a knob would be permanently attached to the timer but I assumed the guy knew his business. He turned out to be a beginner. I received the timer, the part cost me $178.50 with delivery but there was no knob with it. Luckily, the company refunded all my costs. So I called a friend contractor, who gave me your web address and in less then two days I received a metal reinforced wonderful knob that will, I'm certain, lest longer then my washer. Great service! Thanks a lot, And nstallation took less than two seconds :o) Susanna 

The old knob was completely made of plastic, The base of it broke off from the top of the knob.I twisted off the remnants of the old knob. I screwed in the new knob which had a base made of metal. It just took a few seconds without using any tools. The machine now works like new! 

I had to replace it. Part of the part was still in the washing machine. Got the serial and model numbers and a chat person at AppliancePartsPros helped me match a part to the machine. It arrived 1 1/2 days later. I was able to unscrew the part still in the machine and screw the new part on and I was back in business. My washing machine is about a 1953 Whirlpool model. 

Removed broken portion of old knob and installed new knob. The biggest problem was getting the old portion in the up position, then trying to get it off. Had to use a pair of regular pliers and a pair of needle nose pliers. Once in the up position the needle nose pliers were used to hold the screw and broken portion of knob was loosened with the other pair of pliers. Once off partially switched needle nose pliers to hold base of knob screw and finished removal with the othe pair of pliers. The broken portion of the old knob seemed like it was glued or melted on. Once off the replacement went right on, and is now working fine. 

I needed a new timer knob because the previous home owner left an old washer but the knob was missing....So after researching various websites, I came across Appliance Parts Pros and got assistance with finding a compatible knob. I was introduced to a compatible knob. I ordered the part on a Friday and received it on the following Monday. I was happy about how fast the delivery was. The knob only screwed on and it took less than 30 seconds to pop on. Now I can operate my machine much better. Thank You Appliance Parts!! 

With pliers, it only took about five minutes! 

Had a hard time locating replacement dial but found one that worked 

Screwed on new knob 

Bought new timer control knob and new front panel retainer clips. 

Order the part from APP and works great. they even stick the part with upgraded manufacturing!
