β Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Knob is cracked or broken.
- Knob spins without engaging the timer shaft.
- Dryer will not start because the timer shaft is not being turned.
- Timer selection cannot be set reliably.
- Timer does not advance after confirming that the dryer is operating in a timed cycle; this may indicate a timer or another control issue rather than the knob alone.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before inspecting or removing the knob.
- Visually inspect the knob for cracks, splitting, or a worn internal shaft interface.
- With the knob removed, check whether the timer shaft is intact and has the expected flat-sided/D-shaped engagement surface.
- Reinstall the knob and confirm that it seats firmly and turns the timer shaft without slipping.
- If the knob engages the shaft but the timer still does not operate, stop treating the knob as the sole suspected cause and refer to the appliance's model-specific service information.
