Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Cracked, discolored, or damaged chrome cap
• Timer knob pulls off or slips during use
• Difficulty turning or pulling the timer knob because the cap or knob interface is loose
• Cap has come off and the knob cannot be retained properly

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect appliance power before inspecting the control knob assembly.
• Visually inspect the cap for cracks, missing sections, discoloration, or damage.
• Check whether the cap snaps securely into the timer knob and whether the knob remains seated on the timer shaft.
• Verify that the knob is aligned with the timer shaft before pressing the cap into place; do not force the cap if the parts are misaligned.
• If the knob remains loose with an intact cap, inspect the knob and timer-shaft interface separately rather than assuming the timer itself has failed.
