WE1M652 Dryer Timer Control Knob Replacement Part for Hotpoint General Electric Dryer - Replaces 1264289 AP3995164 PS1482196

Well: for about a year: I was using a pair of plyers: to turn our G*E dryer on. I tried to repair the controller knob several times: and about 2 months ago it finally stopped turning the timer. I've been meaning to call G*E and try to order another one: but I just kept putting it off. I was just sitting at the computer: and up pops this controller knob in amazon suggestions: and it was only $6.99: so: what could I lose. So: I ordered it. I opened the bag: I held my breath: lined it up on the timer shaft: and prayed once more: and gave it a push. And: what do you know: It was a perfect fit! Folks: it's built with a tougher durable plastic: than the original one: and it even looks nicer than the original one as well. I'd give this one 10-stars because it saved me the extra hassle from going to the store: or calling the G*E co. to get another one.

I’ve had the product for a couple months now and it works great. The reason I selected this o e was because of the extra metal band around the plastic that connects to the dryer. That is the stress point that seems to always cracks. The only reason for 4 stars on the installation, which typically is just sliding in on the dryer timer, is because it didn’t fit exactly. I think it could have been my fault since I’ve had to use pliers to turn my dryer on. To fit this onto the timer, I simply used a box cutter and slightly trimmed the timer stem so the new dryer knob fit perfectly tight. It works fantastic now.

When it rains it pours our timer knob broke and then so did the timer on the dryer. To save money we replaced everything ourself which was super easy. It looks exactly like the original and if it last as long as the original did then I won’t have to buy another for at least 4 years but will definitely be buying from here again in the future

this was a replacement for my hotpoint dryer. researched very carefully before ordering it. information given on this product said would fit my dryer and this was the replacement for the timer knob. Wrong, the opening where the little shaft goes was slightly smaller and would not fit on. I have since reorder the same model # of this timer knob but it is directly made by GE and specifically says it is for my model dryer. the quality of the knob from discount part direct was very cheesy, cheap and had no ID on it or Model #.

Easy to replace but, the knob isn’t fully flush on the shaft. It sticks out a bit. I was afraid to push on it any harder and break the plastic. I was using a wrench to turn it for a year so I’m pretty stoked to have a knob.

Old control knob stripped, and replaced with this one. Have had it on for 3 years with no issues. Fit my hotpoint(?) dryer

I bought this knob to replace a broken dial on my GE dryer. It is clearly not intended for my dryer model, even though the item description led me to believe it was. The dial is much too big and required some modification (I had to remove a metal ring from the inside of the knob) to install. Now that it is on my dryer, I think it will last a long time (the part of the know that attaches to the dryer has a metal ring around the outside to prevent the plastic from breaking with use). It is not perfect, and good enough that I don’t feel the need to return it. A perfectionist, however, would not be pleased.

I had to purchase this item because I broke the knob on my dryer. It was easy to pull my broken one off and slide this one on! I've actually bought this item twice. The first time I bought it to replace a cracked knob and then boom, I broke it after a few months. The little "D" shaped part on the bottom that attaches to the metal piece of the dryer cracks so easily with turning the temp knob. So I bought a second one and made up my mind that I would super glue it to the little metal knob so that the plastic part wont crack again. To my surprise, the second one I bought had a really nice metal reinforcement on it so that it doesn't crack when turning the knob!!! Won't have to glue it on after all! I will upload pics as soon as I can.
