Description

This control encoder is the electronic user-interface component that registers dial/rotary inputs and helps the appliance accept setting changes. Replacing a worn encoder restores reliable input control and responsive selection behavior. What it does

• Converts user dial/rotary movements into electronic signals the control board reads
• Helps change settings like time, temperature, or function when the dial is turned
• Common symptom: knob or dial turns but the appliance does not change settings or respond
• Can also cause intermittent or erratic input behavior when failing

What's included

• 1 control encoder

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing the control panel or console; handle fascia and glass carefully
• Align encoder shaft and secure mounting as OEM layout requires; avoid forcing components
