Whirlpool W10801656 Knob OEM Part

The repair sounds easy, doesn't it? It would have been, except that I actually had to do laundry while waiting for the part to arrive. So, I was using a pair of channel locks to turn the exposed bolt/post sticking out in order to turn the washing machine on. In doing so, I actually crushed part of the thread on the bolt, so the starter knob wouldn't screw on! In order to screw on the new starter knob, I had to buy a special nut which rethreaded the bolt. It cost $25 for rethreading kit! Once that was accomplished, screwing the starter knob on was as easy as pie. My advice to others: do NOT try to grip and turn the threaded bolt with out using a piece of fabric draped on it first!!

Not wanting to buy a new machine,I showed it to my "handyman" son. He is also a "problem solver". He got on the Internet & found your site. Ordered the part & within 2 days presto! Machine's washing again =).

Took Broken knob off threads & threaded new knob

Just replaced knob. However, the last time I ordered a part form Pros.con it was to repair the agitator and the parts shipment was complete with directions to a repair video that showed a step by step repair. That's why I always orderfrom Pros.com

I just cleaned up the bolt and screwed on the new knob. Easy as pie. Hard part was figuring out which model I had as the number was under the lid towards the control panel. After that everything was smooth sailing.
