Description

This 4-position rotary encoder is the user-control input that lets the appliance detect selector knob positions so settings change reliably. It replaces a worn or faulty encoder to restore responsive cycle selection. What it does

• Converts knob rotation into electrical signals so the control board reads selected settings
• Replaces an encoder that causes intermittent or no response when turning the selector
• Helps stop erratic or incorrect cycle selection caused by a worn or damaged shaft or contacts
• Resolves clicking, jumpy, or unregistered position changes at the console

What's included

• One rotary encoder (4-position) as pictured

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access usually requires removing the control panel or console; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Handle the encoder and circuit board carefully to avoid ESD or mechanical damage
• Test selector operation after reinstalling the panel and restoring power
