WE01X20374 General Electric Timer Knob for Dryer

Timer Knob for Dryer. Color: White. This knob is designed to fit a D-shaped shaft and is sold individually. It has a diameter of approximately 3 inches. This component is crucial for addressing issues such as the dryer failing to start or the timer not advancing.

The knob is a genuine OEM part specifically for GE dryers and is found on the control panel. It allows users to set the drying time and choose functions such as air fluff or wrinkle release. The knob itself measures 2-3/4 inches in diameter and includes a 1/8 inch extended shaft.

Common reasons for the timer knob malfunctioning include normal wear from frequent use and the impact of high temperatures on the knob’s material, which can lead to degradation over time.

Signs of a faulty timer knob are:

- The knob is difficult to turn to the desired settings.
- The dryer does not start cycles correctly according to the position of the knob.
- The knob is loose and unstable, which might lead to it falling off.
- Visible signs of wear such as cracks, chips, or discoloration on the surface of the knob.

This replacement part is also compatible with certain models from Hotpoint and RCA.
