Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Knob is cracked, broken, or missing.
• Knob spins freely while the timer shaft remains stationary.
• Knob no longer stays attached to the shaft.
• Difficulty selecting or changing dryer settings.
• Dryer may not start when the knob cannot rotate the timer shaft to the required position.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before inspection.
• Visually inspect the knob for cracks, breaks, or deformation.
• Pull the knob straight off and inspect its internal D-shaped shaft receptacle for rounding, cracking, or missing material.
• With the knob removed, visually check that the exposed timer shaft has an intact D-shaped profile.
• Reinstall the knob temporarily and confirm that it seats firmly and turns the timer shaft without slipping; do not force it if the shaft or knob binds.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

• White finish.
• Approximately 2.5 inches in diameter.
• Designed for a D-shaped timer shaft.
• Controls cycle and time selection by rotating the timer shaft.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the timer post, as documented by Frigidaire Appliance Parts.
• Align the replacement knob's internal D-shaped opening with the timer shaft and press it straight on until fully seated.
