Timer Knob 131873500

What the pictures do not show is the inner clamp spring that grips the selector switch shaft so it will not easily fall off. It is not shown or mentioned but in fact was installed in the knob.

All I did was take the new knobs and put them on and my dryer was like new. The knobs were an exact fit. It took 3 minutes.

I went to the website. There were visual aids to help describe the part. I picked it based on the pictures and the description. Ordering was easy and the part arrived in the time promised. I popped it on and it worked perfectly. I saved about $85 because I didn't need a repairman.

Great job!

Remove broken knob. Saw that the boss on the backside of the knob that mates with the timer shaft was cracked. Install (press fit) new knob.

Ordered the new knob and stuck it on. Doesn't get easier than that!

Simply put on the new knob. It took 2 seconds. Easy!!! So glad I didn't have to spend a small fortune for a repair. Thank you!

I unplugged the dryer and then removed the top sheet metal cover with a nutdriver. I removed old timer with a phillips #2 screwdriver. I drew a diagram showing which color wires were connected to each point on the old timer. I unplugged the wires (a needle nose plier was needed for some of the tighter connectors) from the old timer and then connected the new timer. The whole repair would have been less than 30 minutes, but I dropped a screw into the open dryer. I had to remove the front sheet metal to retrieve the screw. This was the only annoying part and probably doubled the repair time, but even this was not too hard. I hate this dryer and will never buy another Fridigaire appliance, but I am happy with the quick service of PartSelect.com. It was faster and a lot cheaper for me to buy the part and do it myself instead of scheduling a repair.

All I had to do was line the "D" shaft up with the "D" metal shaft on the Dryer and push the knob on. I made sure it would turn properly, and turned the Dryer on the make sure it worked. All is good.

It was very easy, looked and found the right match and pulled off the broken one and pushed on the new one

Just pressed the knob on.
