Parts for Ge DDG7286RAL: 01 - Section1 Parts

Color: black. Measures about 3 inches in diameter.

The Knob Clip is an OEM part for GE washing machines and dryers. This small but crucial component is designed to secure the control knob to the appliance's control panel.  

Over time, knob clips can wear out or break due to frequent use or accidental damage. When this happens, the control knob may become loose, fall off easily, or fail to engage the control panel properly, making it difficult to set the appliance to the desired cycle or function.

Symptoms of a bad Knob Clip include:

• The control knob is loose or falls off the panel easily.
• Difficulty in adjusting settings due to a loose knob.
• The knob does not stay in place or slips when turned.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Typical symptoms of a bad timer: timer won't advance, dryer runs too long, stops mid-cycle, or won't start on timed cycles

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access timer from the control panel; remove the rear panel/cover to reach it

This push button is the user-facing control button that completes a control circuit when pressed, restoring responsiveness to a worn or broken selector interface. It provides a direct, replaceable way to fix unresponsive or stuck control input. What it does

• Acts as the external control button that engages the appliance's internal switch when pressed
• Restores tactile feedback and reliable control input if the original button is cracked, loose, or missing
• Common symptom fix: buttons that stick, don't depress fully, or fail to activate functions
• Works with the matched internal switch assembly to ensure consistent operation

• Disconnect power before any service
• Remove the control panel or bezel as needed to access the button; avoid prying on surrounding trim
• Replace the button by aligning and snapping it into the button housing; do not force or bend retaining tabs
• If the button does not restore function, inspect the underlying switch/mechanism for damage before ordering additional parts
