Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Knob is cracked or physically damaged
• Knob is missing
• Knob turns without properly changing the cycle setting
• Cycle selection is difficult because the knob no longer grips the control shaft

Check Before Replacing

• With the appliance disconnected from power, inspect the knob for cracks, stripped internal features, or a loose fit.
• Confirm that the control shaft and knob interface are compatible before ordering.
• If the knob turns but the cycle does not change, inspect the shaft and underlying control for damage; the knob is not the only possible cause.
