Default Timer Control Knob Removal
Model Number: LWM833W   Brand: Amana   Age: More than 10 years   

I have just ordered a replacement timer control assembly from AppliancePartsPros.com Part Details - MAYTAG Timer/4 cycle, part number: AP83145

How do I get the knob off of this part. When I turn it counter clockwise, either pushed in or pulled out it just spins.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

On mine you have to have knob pushed in , then turn counter clockwise to remove. Question for you, why did you have to replace timer?
I am having problems and I think it is the timer /swith control.
washer fills, then it should start to wash(agitate) but doesn't all the time. You can here the timer clicking but it won't wash. If I turn knob over to perm press wash it will wash a little then stop, if I turn knob a little it will start again to wash. Then it goes thru spin cycle it seems ok.

Hi jgreen,

Thank you for your info. I was able to get the knob to finally screw off after alot of trying. Knowing that it did screw off allowed me to be persistant enough to remove it.

The timer was working correctly as far as the wash cycles go, but the knob no longer worked when you wanted to turn the timer from one type of cycle to another. To do this you had to press hard on the larger plastic ring under the knob to get it to turn. I think that the ratchet latch inside of the timer finally wore out. My guess is that it is plastic and was probably designed to fail later in its life. Therefore I am replaceing a mostly working part because they used a cheap little plastic part in side the timer.

Again, Thanks for your response.
