The control know on my duet washing machine was broken Kathi K. • Milton , DE • July 22, 2014
I purchased a replacement knob from AppliancePartsPros and replaced the broken knob. the ApplicanceParts website was terrific. I didn't need the washer model number to choose the proper knob because the illustration was perfect. After ordered, the knob arrived within a day. The time expended from ordering to repair was less than 15 minutes. Thanks so much.

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: 279872
This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.
- Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
- Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
- Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
- Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition
What's included: One resistor Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
- Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
- Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
- After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function

The timer was sticking to the point where the knobs were stripping out Peter A. • Dallas , OR • December 16, 2014
I unscrewed the 3 Phillips screws on the back of the dryer controls housing, then it folds forward for access to each control switch. the old one popped out, and I swapped the wires using a needle nose pliers, one by one, from the old switch to the new switch. The part was an exact fit, and popped right back into the housing. I screwed the 3 screws back in, pushed on the new knob, and it looks and works like new !

Broken timer knob worn out door switch Kurt H. • Quakertown , PA • January 01, 2016
The timer knob simply pulls off the shaft with a solid, steady pull. Cleaned the timer cavity of lint/dust buildup. Aligned the keying flat of the shaft and knob and pushed the new knob on with careful, steady pressure until it was obviously seated. No tools required other than a vacuum.
