The stem of the knob is still inside the washer. There is a little phillips head screw slightly above and to the right of the knob stem. How do I install a new knob? Thanks for any replies.

Should the switch stem stick out past the panel? If so, how do I replace the switch? If the switch stem does not protrude above the panel and is not broken, then how do I remove the part of the knob stem that broke off? Thanks.
