Anthony M Albany , NY October 25, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Washer MTW5740TQ0 Maytag Washer Mtw5740tq0: Timer knob had broken off of its stem. How to replace Knob. I removed what remained of the broken knob. To do this I used two tiny screwdrivers to depress the two spring-loaded pinchers inside the broken stem that held the now-broken knob to the selector switch. The new knob was easy to just push on to the switch stem. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
