Jeffery B Donalsonville , GA September 04, 2015 The timer switch came detached from the bracket and the dial slot slipped out of the shaft until i saw the repair video i did not know about the clip that locks the dial to the shaft I removed the dial knob and plate as instructed by the video, removed the front panel of the washer to access the switch. I found the plastic molded bracket that the timer rests on to be broken and the tab on the timer where it is attached by a screw to be broken. I ordered a replacement switch, dial and knob. When it arrived I replaced the parts as instructed, but I had to use super glue to hold the new switch in place due to the support tab on the washer panel being broken off. After letting the glue cure I reattached the panel and everything worked great.

Daniel H Deridder , LA June 12, 2021 Appliance: Hot Point Washer HSWP1000M4WW The timer washer knob would not turn the dial assembly. I replaced the Timer knob components. Removing the cover that contains the Timer was simpler than I anticipated. Just remove the screws on the top of the back of the machine. Hold the cover and lift up and push to the left (facing the front of the washer). Removed the Timer Knob Clip with small needle-nose pliers. Grasped the Timer and turned counterclockwise to remove and unplugged the wiring clip. The timer is seated to the cover and held securely in place with one screw. I seated the new Timer into the inside of the cover. This step took a minute to figure out but if you look at the inside of the cover, and then the back of the Timer, it is easy to see how it fits. Replaced the single screw that holds the Timer in place. Replace the wiring (one clip with many wires that simply snaps into place). Reseated the cover and replaced the screws. I've never done this task before and I figured it out by looking at it. Much simpler than I thought. The difficulties? 1. Removing the cover. It doesn't just lift up. You must lift up and slide it over. 2. Removing the Timer mechanism. Once the screw is removed, the Timer must be twisted to be removed. Once you take it off, you will know how to put the new one back on.

James M D Fairhope , AL February 15, 2019 Control knob on the washing machine was stripped out. Called a local repair man who did not return the call. Called another one who turned out to have a you pull it salvage yard for washing machines. Got on the internet and found AppliancePartsPros.com. Entered the model number which put me onto the assembly drawings. Picked out the knob parts. watched the videos for instructions on how to remove the old parts and assemble the new ones. Ordered the parts. When they arrived most of the assembly work shown had already been done. Took me about two minutes to replace the old parts and test them. Perfection.
