The control knob spins freely on the shaft without engaging the cycle selector, making it impossible to choose a wash or dry cycle.
The original bisque-color knob has cracked, chipped, or snapped off, leaving a sharp plastic edge or bare metal shaft exposed.
Because the damaged knob cannot properly engage the control shaft, the appliance cannot be set to a cycle and therefore will not start or run.
The control knob is completely missing — lost during a move, broken off, or removed for cleaning and damaged — leaving the appliance inoperable without a replacement.




💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Control Knob the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Knob spins freely without engaging the cycle selector shaft
⚠️ Knob is cracked, chipped, or broken and cannot be gripped properly
⚠️ Washer or dryer will not start because the cycle cannot be selected
⚠️ Knob is missing entirely — fell off or was accidentally broken
Diagnosis tip: Try grasping the metal shaft behind where the knob sits. If the machine responds correctly when the shaft is turned directly, the shaft and control board are fine — only the knob needs replacing. This is one of the easiest and most affordable appliance repairs possible.
