The Timer Dial is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It allows the user to set and control the various wash cycles by turning the dial to the desired position. This component interfaces with the timer mechanism, enabling precise control over the wash, rinse, and spin cycles.
The timer dial may need to be replaced if it becomes cracked, stripped, or otherwise damaged. Causes of a bad timer dial can include frequent use, accidental impacts, or exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals that can weaken the plastic.
Symptoms of a bad timer dial include:
- Difficulty turning the dial or selecting the correct cycle
- The dial not staying in place or slipping
- The washing machine not starting or progressing through cycles properly
- Visible cracks or damage to the dial
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The control knob spun freely without engaging to select cycle Polly H. • Glen Allen , VA • November 11, 2014
I pulled off the retaining clip with pliers then removed the old knob and timer dial. I replaced all the parts with the new ones and used pliers to reinstall the clip. The teeth on the new knob engage to select the cycle.
