Robert P Estero , FL November 28, 2016 Old ge washer timer dial just spins without grabbing The teeth on the timer control and the timer knob were OK. However, the plastic notches on the dial were all broken. Problem was the plastic timer hold down flanges broke off from machine vibration. I had to cement the plastic timer body to the metal cover of the timing controls, then replace the timing dial and knob. Works like new!
