Hello, I am trying to figure out whatg exact parts I need to replace the knob an dial to this washer. The only visible thing left of the system is the outside part of the timer (the small metal part that protrudes and goes up and down as you work the knob and the plastic gear part). The plastic gear part of the timer is a little worn out, because the only way to turn it is with a pair of pliers. It is not completely worn out though. Is it even worth it trying to put in the new parts (knob, dial, ring)? And if so, can you provide me the exact parts reference please?
I am certain one of the admins can direct you to the proper parts, but you can replace the knob and dial (see parts 7 through 9) on schematic.
It isn’t that difficult to do. Some timers require that you hold a small part on the rear of the timer to remove the knob. But this one appears to have a clip that holds it on.
Parts are not too expensive and it can make it easier to use unit.

Since the knob and dial are not currently on the washer, how do I figure out where the cycles start and end when I put the parts in, I mean, to put the pointer of the dial in the right position?

Well as long as the spindle on the timer is not damaged, then it should be pretty obvious how it goes back on. Most of the time, there are certain grooves on the back of the knob and dial that will only allow it to slide onto the spindle a certain way.
It is that way so a person can get it put on the correct way.
Even a tech would not be able to easily figure it out without those grooves.
