Dryer won't start

A damaged control knob that is unable to activate the timer can prevent the dryer from starting. Inspect the knob for cracks or wear and replace if necessary.

Dryer controls don't work

A dryer control knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the switch stem for that control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the switch.

Washer controls don't work

A washer control knob needs to be able to engage and rotate the switch stem for that control to work. If the knob is cracked or stripped out and just slips on the stem a new knob will need to be installed to properly engage the switch.
