Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Cracked or broken knob
• Loose or wobbly fit on the shaft
• Knob turns without moving the selector shaft
• Cycle selection cannot be set reliably
• Appliance controls do not respond when the knob is turned

Check Before Replacing

• With the appliance turned off, inspect the knob for cracks, stripped internal material, or a distorted D-shaped opening.
• Gently turn the knob and observe whether the selector shaft moves with it; do not force the control.
• Compare the knob’s internal opening with the appliance’s shaft and verify that it seats fully against the control panel.
• If the knob is intact but the shaft does not rotate or the appliance still does not respond, the underlying switch or timer may require separate diagnosis.
