If the washer completes the Gentle cycle but won't work in the Regular then the most likely it's a bad timer Part number: WH12X10300 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric S3700E4WW Washer \| AppliancePartsPros.com Thank you. Post the results. Simon.

Now the knob assembly is not staying on so that the machine can be turned on to wash. It is free wheeling. When pushing the knob assembly so that it connects to the timer part, it doesn't click into place. The knob free-wheels. I'm thinking I will probably need to replace that unless any of you have a suggested fix attempt.

The issue with the dial assembly not staying on was due to the timer not being guided into the slots to keep it secured. Once I did that, everything fit perfectly and it is doing its thing. Thanks again. This is a great site!:)
