Maytag dryer control knob removal
Anyone know how to remove the timer control knob on a maytag dryer
about 15 years old? I tried to unscrew it, which did not work. I held on to the plastic disk under the knob, but I was afraid that if I turned any harder, something would break. I pulled pretty hard while rocking the knob, without success. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Blackhawk |

Maytag dryer control knob removal
If it is a knob that is turned, and some that are not, they don't screw on
but just press on and pull off the stem. Yours may differ, if you have a knob that turns to time the drying, it must be an economy model, which again probably indicates the knob just pulls off. Try it gently, but first look for a set screw, again probably on the bottom of the knob. "BlackHawk96" wrote in message ...

You have to pry out a plastic disk in the center of the knob. Underneath is
a screw! "BlackHawk96" wrote in message ... Anyone know how to remove the timer control knob on a maytag dryer about 15 years old? I tried to unscrew it, which did not work.
