The selector knob is what you use to start the dryer. This replacement knob comes with a retaining clip. This is a very easy repair, the only tool you may need is a pair of needle nose pliers. Remove the existing knob by pulling it off, making sure to remove the retaining clip as well. Line up the new knob with the D-shaped shaft and slide it into place.

The shaft broke in half where the start knob attaches to can that be replaced if so what is the part number

Hello Renee,
Thank you for your question.
The shaft is part of the rotary start switch and the whole switch would need to be replaced once the shaft is broken. For your model the switch is part number PS268305.

Hi. When i select timed drying it will advance/shut off way before it's suppose to for example if 20 min is selected,it might shut off in half the time and if i select say automatic cotton's,it won't advance at all and will only shut off if i turn the timer or open the door. What part do u think i need to replace?
For model number DBXR453ET5AA
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your question. There are a few parts that you will have to test to see if they are working correctly. You will have to test both your high limit thermostat and your cycling thermostats. You may also want to test your interlock, and door switch as well to determine what is wrong. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Selector knob is broken and even using a pair of pliers, the washing machine now won't spin
For model number WBSR1060
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your question. If you require a new selector knob, the part number for it is PS271094. If you are using a pair of pliers to turn the shaft that the knob goes on, you will need to replace the switch that the shaft attaches to. This selector knob is used for the the water level pressure switch, part number PS269790, and the temperature switch, part number PS3499718. If you know which switch you need, please let us know and we would be happy to place the order for you. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Inop Start switch, holes in lint filter
Switch replacement needs only Torks driver, very simple.
The lint filter arrived damaged. The screen is mangled and the frame is cracked. It may be repairable.
Just pushed the knob on by hand and it was ready to start! It was great not having the extra expense of a house call! Thank you!

Rotary start switch stem broke off
I simply removed the back of the dryer top and disconnected the old start switch and connected the new part. It honestly took me longer to take out the screws to remove the back plate than it did to replace the rotary start switch. It was very easy and I had a lot of confidence due to watching the Partselect instructional video on YouTube. The Partselect Customer Service woman was great too!
pulled off the old knob and replaced it with the new knob.

Perfect Replacement
This replacement knob slipped perfectly and firmly over the D post for a like new result. My only complaint is the $9.99 flat rate shipping just about makes the part unaffordable. I tried to source this on Amazon but was unsuccessful. I hate, hate, hate paying for shipping.

Easy to deal with and great customer service
I entered the wrong mailing address, called customer service after it was shipped and they help me get it resolved. The other thing I found helpful was the videos embedded right in the order so I could watch someone walk me through replacement step by step.

It worked great!
I bought the knob AND the switch. The knob is easy to install of course, but the switch was a more complicated install. Using the video as a guide, I was able to install the whole thing easily. Very pleased!
