Timer Knob

While my friends were visiting, they broke the knob off my washer. Now I am no good at repairs of any type, so my initial reaction was to get a new washer. Instead I went on the website and found a new knob. The website made it easy to match model numbers and get the exact knob. I got it in the mail ASAP and I just pushed it on. This may not sound like an impressive repair story but trust me, it was a lot for me. I saved myself $400.

Used an inexpensive multi-meter to detect that there was no continuity through thermal cut-off (high end) or disposable thermal fuse. I identified these parts by reading your online schematic of the dryer. I noted that the flexible ducting had been crushed on the dryer which lead to the feasibility that the thermal cut offs, especially the thermal fuse could have burnt out. Ordered the parts on Monday, drying clothes again on Wednesday.
