✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Knob does not stay in place
• Knob spins freely or fails to turn the timer shaft
• Wash-cycle selection is difficult or unreliable
• Timer knob may not advance through settings because the knob is not engaging properly

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the control area.
• With the washer powered off, check whether the retaining clip is present behind the timer knob.
• Inspect the clip and the back of the knob for visible cracks, distortion, looseness, or loss of gripping tension.
• After removing the knob only as permitted by the model-specific service information, verify that the clip is seated in the timer-shaft groove and that the knob engages the shaft.
• If the knob and clip appear intact, do not assume the timer itself is defective; verify model-specific service information before replacing other components.
