Walt M Oak Harbor , WA February 08, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Compact Automatic Washer MHWC7500YW0 The new washer was designed to fail with a prominent control knob on front that easily breaks off I knocked the knob off at install trying to stack the dryer on top. I see on the internet others have broke the knob off when pulling detergent off the top of the stacking dryer and having it fall down the front of the washer. Called local appliance repair and they charged $80 to tell me they couldn't get parts from their supplier. Someone is missing a real opportunity by not selling a replacement plastic knob for $50. The assembly with the knob was $140. The repair was reasonably simple, 11 screws and a plug. It took three tries to assemble before I got it right. First time I forgot some screws, second time I forgot to reconnect a plug, and the third time to figure out how to shove the oddly shaped tang on the end of the new control knob into the hole of the 'brain'. Works like new. Read More... 8 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
