Function & Importance

The washer control knob allows you to select wash cycles, water levels, and settings with precision. It connects directly to the washer’s control shaft, enabling smooth rotation and accurate cycle engagement. A properly functioning control knob is essential for safe and reliable washer operation. When the knob becomes damaged or worn, it can prevent the washer from starting, selecting the correct cycle, or completing a wash properly.

Replacing a faulty control knob restores full control over your washing machine and prevents unnecessary strain on the control shaft or timer.
