Belt Wheel was broken at axle. Terrible noise.
Removed the top and back of dryer with screw socket. It was quite easy. Then, I removed the broken wheel by releasing the tension spring. I replaced the wheel. The toughest part was re-threading the belt. But, even that was simple. The dryer runs smoothly and quietly again!
If you remove knob and sleeve remains, you have to use needle nose pliers to remove. Pull straight up, don't wiggle back-and-forth too much. If you put too much pressure on glass-top, it can crack. Prying is DANGEROUS on glass-top stoves.
Broken control knob,damaged printed ckt.in control.
Removed top panel from machine(3 screws,access to rear was necessary),removed detergent dispenser to access screw for control panel,removed control knob and unfastened control panel,disconnected harness from ECU,unfastened harness from retaining clips,removed control panel&uncliped circuit board assy.from panel,transferred buttons to new ckt.board assy,reassrmbled control panel&reinstalled,routed harness,installed new knob,verified operation,reinstalled top panel&dispenser.
It was super easy...as the knob (Part No. 18 on our Whirlpool Duet Dryer) broke off cleanly leaving the metal pin exposed....(we had been turning it with pilers in the interim) so I just popped the new knob on and we were good to go! It was really easy to do and easy to locate the necessary part on your site. I won't hesitate to use your company and website again. Thank you for making all the parts available and saving us a service call!

The knob that controls the wash setting broke
It only took a few seconds to slide on the new knob after it arrived by UPS. The part arrived sooner than scheduled. Great service and product.

broken door handle
removing the old srews was a little difficult but once it was done it was much easier to replace the new product.
Control knob broke - because entirely plastic, turning interior metal selection rod
Pulled off the broken knob. Fairly disgusted with Whirlpool for not bothering to put a metal / aluminum sleeve inside to avoid the exact breakage I experienced. Part Select, however, had the part, got it to me exactly in the time frame I asked for and it was the correct part. I would definitely use Prat Select for any such need.

Correct part. Worked as expected
The control knob arrived in a timely manner and was easily installed. PartSelect has instruction videos to assist consumers with repairs and installations, though a video was not required to install this simple control part.
This part is offered in several colors designated by the manufacturer and I took my best guess on color based on the computer image. The color of the knob was not a perfect match to the original but this does not affect its functionality hence an exchange is not required. Our washing machine resides on a service porch and is out of view.

The part was extremely hard to get onto the holder. We had to use WD40 to get it to glide on.
The knob is great now that is on the appliance and works great.

Easy repair BUT the PRICE!!!
This is a plastic knob replacing the one that broke on our washer.
It should sell for $5 and allow PartSelect to still make a hefty profit.
But no: it is sold for $28 (twenty eight $) plus another $8 for shipping and handling.
This belongs to the predatory pricing. Shame on Part Select and Whirlpool to allow such robbery..
