This Top Load Washer Timer Knob, Grey, is a control knob for laundry appliances. The knob lets you control the cycle settings of your washer and fits a double-flat shaft. In order to access the part, you'll remove the screws securing the top control panel of the washer, lift that back and use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull out the catch that holds the timer knob in. Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off its post. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
