Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This timer knob is used to set the dryer cycle by advancing the timer. The plastic can become brittle with age and crack where it attaches to the timer shaft. You will need to replace this part if it slips off the shaft and cannot advance the timer. If it constantly falls off and will not stay on the shaft by itself, it may be cracked or broken and need to be replaced. This model is roughly 3 inches in diameter and made of white plastic. Sold individually.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.
Repair Tip: To install this part, grab your old knob with a firm grip and pull. Make sure the inside of the part has come off as well. Align your new knob onto the D-shaped shaft and snap it into place.

Perfect
This was the exact part I needed. It was reasonably priced, fit perfectly, and looks great. I should have purchased this one first as the 1st vendor I used was a dud!

Cheap plastic dryer timer snapped
So easy - couple screws in the back, move the wires from the old dryer timer to the new one, snap it in place, and put the screws back in. Done in no time.
I have ordered this part twice from different providers. This time there were more connections than on the older one. Still haven't gotten the dryer running.
Both the start switch and timer switch had become old and worn out.
After unplugging the unit, I simply replaced them, matching each replacement connector on the unit. It was actually nothing special and the replacement components being identical left out a lot of guesswork.
timer knob would not work - it just spun around - wouldn't catch
watched video on your site - pulled knob firmly straight off - pulled off small metal piece that remained on plastic dryer knob - pushed on new knob -!!!

When the cycle finishes my dryer will not automatically turn off anymore. Is there a problem with my timer knob or something? Never had this happen before!
Hello Marge, if the timer motor has power and the timer is still not turning off, you may need to replace the timer on your dryer WE4M353. This can be tested using a multi-meter tool. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Raymond

How do I know if I should replace the knob or the whole timer assembly. My wife said last time she used the dryer when she turned the timer it felt “weird” and now the machine is not starting. I read that usually it is bc of a faulty timer or timer knob but who can I determine which it is?
Hi Raymond, this problem could be caused by the knob or the timer on your dryer. I would start with the knob. Pull it off the shaft and check it for visible damage. If the knob is not the problem then you will need to inspect your dryer timer. I hope this helps.

Hi. Is this a one directional (eg only to be turned clockwise) or a multi directional knob?
For model number Dbsr453eb2ww
Hello Jeff, Thank you for your inquiry. It is designed to turn with the timer switch, which is recommended only to turn clockwise. Hope this helps!

The timer knob has no tension in it. I cannot make a timing selection as the dial spins freely, therefore the dryer will not work.
For model number HTDX100GM8WW
Hi Greg, Thank you for the question. If you can remove the knob and turn the shaft the knob fits onto and have it operate normally, you will need to replace the knob. If the shaft turns freely as well then the timer switch needs to be replaced, Part Number: PS9491767. Hope this helps!

When on timed drying always stops at 40mins which is when the knob arrow is pointing straight down, I have tried replacing the timer itself twice with the same result. So either I wired it wrong, have the wrong timer. Does each knob have its own orientation? Anything you can think of?
For model number DLSR483GG1WW
Hello Ken, Thank you for the question. A dryer that shuts off mid cycle might mean that you have a defective motor. A defective motor will run a lot hotter than usual and will cause it to overload. When the motor becomes too hot it will shut off to cool down which would cause your dryer to shut off. I suggest testing the motor. Hope this helps!

My GE dryer is over 20 years old and running great, but the control knob finally broke. The spindle can be turned to ON with pliers. Will this knob work? The diameter of the metal under-side circle is 1.8" and there is a D-shaped ring in the center that fits onto the spindle. The # on that metal ring is 175D3206. Hope it will fit and thanks for your help! ~
