Customer Questions and Answers for Timer Plastic Shaft (Shaft), 1 by Ge

This replacement timer plastic shaft restores the control knob connection on compatible GE appliance timers so the timer advances and settings stay engaged. Simple, low-cost fix when the original shaft is cracked, stripped, or broken. What it does:

• Replaces the damaged or worn plastic shaft that connects the control knob to the timer mechanism.
• Restores positive knob engagement so the timer advances and selected cycles run.
• Helps eliminate symptoms like a spinning or slipping knob, inability to change timer settings, or intermittent timer control.
• Intended for mechanical/electromechanical control timers that use a plastic shaft interface.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove the control knob and access the timer per your model's service instructions; handle internal components gently.
• Align the shaft correctly with the timer mechanism and knob splines; do not force parts—inspect for additional damage to the timer or knob.
