Timer knob assembly restores manual control of the appliance timer so you can select and change cycle times with a secure, easy-to-grip knob. Replaces a cracked, worn, stripped, or missing timer knob to restore normal operation. What it does:
- Mounts to the timer/control shaft to allow manual selection of timed cycles.
- Re-establishes engagement when the original knob is stripped, loose, cracked, or missing.
- Provides a firm grip and tactile feedback for accurate setting of cycle times.
What's included: One timer knob assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to reduce risk of shock.
- Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align splines and push the replacement knob fully onto the shaft until seated.
- If the knob uses a set screw, tighten gently—do not over-torque.
- If the control shaft is damaged or the knob will not engage properly, replace the control.
