Timer Knob Specifications
This OEM Timer Knob is a white plastic knob which can be easily installed onto your machine's timer rod, in order to control the timer. If the part breaks off, it should be replaced. Refer to your user manual and model number to see if this part is right for you. It is a three-inch-diameter part that accepts a D-shaped shaft. To replace your faulty knob, simply pull the existing knob straight off the shaft and install the replacement back onto the shaft. No tools are required. This item is sold individually and is not part of a set. The timer knob contains the insert as well as the knob itself.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part.

The replacement parts arrived and fit perfectly onto the metal part. It was super easy and now my Dryer is working again. I am so happy I saved myself from buying a new Dryer. My old one is as good as new!
I did a search on your site to find out why dryer wouldn't start. It said 25 % of the time it could be the timer knob. Checked my old one sure enough it was cracked.Took old timer knob off and pushed New one back on less than a minute. Thank you for your site. It saved me from costly repairs.

Unplug dryer, remove screws and panel. Take picture of dryer motor so you will put wires back the same way . Remove screws using Allen wrench, then unplug wires put the new motor on secure, then put wires back on. View the photo make sure the wires are the same. Then plug your dryer back up. And Happy drying..
I just pulled off the old knob and put on the new one. Took 10 seconds. I did not need the D-Shaped knob insert clip after all.so glad i found this website.
From behind the dryer remove the panel directly behind the timer assembly (6 phillips head screws). Take a picture at this point of how the wires are attached to the timer assembly for reference during reassembly Then remove wires with pliers. Remove T10 Torx screw that retains the timer assembly in place. Remove timer Knob (
... Read morepull forward). Rotate timer assembly to pop it out. From here, twist in new timer, use T10 torx to hold in place re-attach wires and reinstall rear panel
The timer knob was stripped, so it was stuck in the off position. Ordered the "D"-shaped knob and just placed it on the connector and everything is working find.

Hi there, my timer knob on my dryer keeps breaking/cracking/snapping off and Im not sure if it’s a poorly made part or if im not installing it right or if theres something else wrong with my machine. In the past two years I replaced it 2X and this will be a third time. What do you think……?
Hi Jackie, by the sounds of things your timer knob is sticking and you should replace it and the timer together. This part WE1M654 is the knob and this part WE4M533 is the timer you require for your model. Best of luck with this repair!

The knob for the timer cracked so the timer won't work. I replaced the knob three times already because it keeps on cracking. We used pliers to turn the stick that holds the knob and now the stick broke too but still can be grasped by the plier. What needs to be replaced at this time and which parts do we need. Is it easy to replace the parts?Thank you.

My old knob cracked. I replaced it with we1m654, but now the drying time is off kilter. It cuts off last of before the off spot. It is a GE dryer. Is this the correct part?
Hello Eve, thank you for your question. The knob part that you ordered, part number we1m654 is not the right timer knob for your appliance. That is why the timer knob is off kilter. The part you need to order for the timer knob replacement for your model number is WE01X20374. I hope this helps!
