How to fix a broken knob on a whirlpool dryer

[@jrparker4804]

“We have a LOTO situation.”Lol. Excellent video! I followed your advice and ordered the new timer and installed it myself after watching this video. Thank you, sir!!

[@ZazzyMissMadam]

We were doing laundry last weekend and our timer dial decided to snap off at the plastic shaft. We ordered the replacement timer and just swapped it out. VOILA!!! It works! We are in business - thanks to you!!! Thank you, kind sir!!

[@dnwashin]

Appreciate the video, broke yesterday, got the timer , fixed today!

[@ChrisConley]

You are a true hero, sir.

[@judygoibandelier2211]

Still will hire someone to replace my broken shaft-knob but thanks for the video I won't have to buy a new dryer!

[@ElizabethLong-i1r]

Thank you so much for this video and giving the websites to get the parts! We don’t have the same dryer but it helped us find the part and have a better understanding of what actually broke 😅

Used this video to help replace our maytag dryer timer, and we were able to replace it quickly and swiftly without any hassles. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for the help, my friend. I was able to fix my dryer in less than an hour. Quickly, I bought the part at a nearby store and changed it super easily with the tutorial

[@luciabravo5301]

I’m going to try to change the timer 😅thank you for the tutorial

Plastic shaft is a terrible design. I had the same problem. Thanks for the video.

[@ericrodriguez6056]

Followed step by step!...perfect!

[@crazee6821]

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

Can this work with a Kenmore?

[@Uneasy80]

How much parts and labor would someone charge to do this? I have done 3 so far.

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

A company would probably charge at least $200

[@eek25]

I did exactly what you showed and easily fixed the timer however now it won’t start or stop where it’s supposed to and it doesn’t turn off on its own. It ran well over 60 min without turning off. Do you know what the problem might be?

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

I would make sure all fo the electrical connectors are plugged all of the way in. If they are, it might be a defective timer

[@daybreinmattison5447]

I got the clips released to the compartment but i have 2 bolts in place holding it together keep me from being able to fully pull down the compartment to get to the timer what should i do about that ?

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

Loosen the bolts completely. Gently tap the two bolts down with mild force to release the connectors and then it should be free

[@RandomShipNerd]

My nob did not Breck the part that goes on it fell off and the rod part is did not snap but it won’t work even when I put it back on I’m too scared to tell my percents anyone pls help me

[@Jesusomar-fe6cq]

You have the part number of the component?

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

Use your model number to find the correct part number

[@wendycampbell6752]

Is there a way to manually manipulate the broken knob so you can temporarily use the dryer in the meantime while waiting to get the part?

[@Sascham1000]

I'm currently waiting on part also. We jammed a steak knife in where it broke off to turn, honestly

[@alexismcmillan3153]

This was my question too!

[@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh]

I dont recommend this because there are electrical parts that can be hazardous, but I ran a big screw in the hole and used that to turn the dial until the part arrived.

[@okienuts9317]

Same question

[@ajchic96]

@@MoneySavingDIY-sl2khI did the same.

[@dollybauer8940]

The clips aren't releasing for me to access the electrical panel.

[@MelissaArias-c2s]

Where can I get one of those? My knob broke and I need a new one of those.
