White OEM timer knob for Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana dryers and washer-dryer laundry centers.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Knob feels loose or spins without properly selecting a cycle
• Knob is cracked, broken, or missing
• Dryer cycle settings cannot be selected because the knob no longer engages the timer shaft

Check Before Replacing

• Inspect the knob for cracks, splitting, or a damaged shaft opening.
• With power disconnected, verify that the knob seats securely on the timer shaft and turns the control as intended.
• Confirm the appliance model number before ordering because appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
