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.
Pro Tip
The knob is removed by pulling it straight off its post; verify the appliance model before ordering because color and shaft fit matter.
