Steven N North Fort Myers , FL January 21, 2022 Appliance: Samsung Dryer DV45K6500EW/A3-00 Samsung Dryer Dv45k6500ew/A3-00: Control knob was broken. How to replace Dryer Control Knob Encoder Assembly. Ordered new control knob and replaced broken one. The most difficult part was popping out the control panel so I could access the control knob. I ended up "wrestling" it out. It would be wonderful if the product manual had some guidance on how to pop out all panels. 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
