Part WP22001659 Appliance Timer Knob Base
Purpose
Interfaces with the timer control shaft to select cycles.
Details
The WP22001659 is a genuine OEM gray plastic timer knob base used across various laundry appliances, including washing machines, clothes dryers, and stacked washer/dryer combos. It mounts directly onto the D-shaped metal control shaft of the internal timer mechanism, granting users the mechanical leverage required to turn and select specific cycle operations. Over time, frequent turning pressure or physical impacts can cause the internal plastic sleeve to split, crack, or strip entirely. Common symptoms of failure include a knob that spins freely without advancing the cycle, a visibly fractured plastic housing, or a knob that pulls off the console too easily. Replacing this component restores manual control over your appliance's cycle programs.
Included Items
One gray plastic timer knob base (center portion only). Required tools: Flathead screwdriver.
