Default How to Remove Knob on Kenmore Washer

I have a Kenmore series 60 washer. The control timer has gone to
crap. A local appliance store had the same washer sitting out back in
their pile of junkers and said I could have it, and also said as far
as he knew, the timer was still good. I just opened up both machines
and find that the wiring is all one harness and just plugs in. I
thought this should be an easy repair. WRONG !
There are no visible screws to remove the timer. But carefully prying
the knob, I see there are some screws behind the knob. Great, except
one thing.
HOW IN THE HECK DO I REMOVE THE KNOB?



Most just push in (like when your selecting a cycle) but instead of
turning CW turn it CCW.
Some timers have a cap right in the center of the knob. Pry that cap
off with a small screwdriver and you'll see a nut that needs to be
removed.
