This selector knob, also be known as the laundry appliance control knob, is meant for your washer or dryer. This model is sold individually and takes a D-shaped shaft. The purpose of this part is to attach to the shaft of a rotary or starter switch, which is located on the control panel. To install this part, remove your old selector by grabbing it with a firm grip and pulling it straight off. If the metal insert came off with the old part, pull it off as well, making sure the new knob will have enough room to snap in its place. No tools are required to make this repair.

Dryer runs but no heat.Replaced the element still no heat but noticed the selection knob was not advancing. Could this be my problem?
For model number LER7648KQ
Hi Tim,
Thank you for your question .Yes, it could be. However I would suggest checking your thermal fuse, all of your thermostats, and your door switch as well first. In that order. Those are usually the parts that cause this sort of problem. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Is this a set of knobs or just an individual knob?
For model number GLGR642AS5
Hi Gene,
Thank you for your question. This would be just for one knob. They are sold individually. Good luck with your repair.

Our knob broke off, and the spot it was at is now flat with the dryer, and we are unable to turn it on. Would a new knob replacement be what we need?

For model number GLGT1031c

The knob on my Electrolux stackable dryer is not triggering the machine to start. It normally clicks to go on.
For model number MEX731CFS0
Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your question. If the knob is not activating the start switch, then the switch may no longer be working. To verify if the start switch is working, you can test it with a multimeter. We have included a link that you may reference for information on how to test the start switch. The part number listed under your model number for the start switch is PS1146154. If you need to place an order for it, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
First, removed the metal access panel by removing screws. (EASY) Second, pressed the timer knob onto the timer shaft. (EASY) Third, mounted the start switch to the mounting surface. (A BIT DIFFICULT)
Fourth, pressed the start knob onto the freshly mounted start switch. (EASY)
Fifth, replaced the metal access panel by replacing screws. (EASY)
This repair took only about 15 seconds to complete. It just involved pushing the new knob on the selector. The provided video should give you the confidence to complete this task.. I invested $11.00 for the part. I would hate to see the cost to have a repairman come and fix this. Worth every penny
