I understand that this video is 3 years old, so the chance of our seeing this is slim... From the video, I understand that you also broke the d-stem that attached to the actual timer mechanism, and you bought a new one... I was considering tampering with the current one I have to see if I can replace the stem with something else, since GE doesn't sell just replacement stems, and I don't really want to have to get a whole new timer. 🤔 Did you consider that at all? Can't find much research about it so I thought I'd ask. I have the same dryer.
@@incendi4ry I remember trying to fiddle with the timer and the D slot stem was embedded in the timer with no way to replace just that piece from my understanding. That's why I ended up buying a new timer.
@@randomreviewsARTHANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m standing in front of my dryer, with a load of wet towels, when my knob cracked and fell off. Our son’s wedding is next weekend so I do not have time to repair or replace appliances right now!😂 Searched you tube and found your video. Free fix in less than a minute. Thank you! God bless.
thank you so, so, so much. this saved a lot of trouble for us... tip for anyone out there: do not use pliers (if you're like me and forgot the world of technology) as a replacement, it messes your dryer up, but i still switched the knobs and it worked!
@@kellypadlo9369 I eded up needing to replace the motor itself since i damaged the plastic stick. It cost like $35 to get a new motor and then I took a picture of the original wires and then just reconnected it to the new motor!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thank You For This Video!! I have the same dryer and I am always purchasing a new knob for the timer. Purchased one today (literally) and the “D-shaped” slot mechanism must be striped or something because now the knob will not turn the the “D-shaped” slot smh. Tried what you said and boom my dryer is back working!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much! I was about to pay a professional to come figure out why my dryer suddenly broke and your video popped up. I have the exact same dryer and never change the settings on the left either. You’re a lifesaver! Thank you so much 🙏🏽
O MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! I haven't used my dryer in 2.5 years bc I didn't want to pay $80 for a diagnostic fee from a repair company. I just watched your video, and switched the knobs - bc my old one was cracked like yours was cracked. It worked!!!!!! O MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! 2.5 years of hanging my clothes to dry.... over in 10 seconds. Deliverance!!!! The reason I started watching you-tubers, again, to attempt to fix it is bc I just did Spring Cleaning, and didn't want to continue hanging wet clothes in my bedroom to dry- making the mold / dust build back up, again. I watched another you-tuber, two years ago, but it was too technical / complex. It helped that you mentioned that Hotpoint is GE. I didn't know that when I saw another video about GE Dryers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Actually, my electric bill has been lower (maybe from not using the dryer,) so I only plan to dry my heavy laundry. I may still use the door rack for drying socks, etc. Thanks, again! I love the sound of that humming...
I LOVED reading your feedback! I've been helped a TON by TH-cam videos over the years and thought this was a simple tip to share and a way I can give back to the YT community. So happy your dryer is back working and that you are now delivered from having to hang clothes in your room. Thanks for watching! 🙌🏿
Thank you I just paid 60 for someone to look at my dryer he wa Ted to charge 300.00 but I said no, then I found you on Google and I followed you and it is working now thank you so much for the tip. God bless you always
Thank you for posting this! My knob broke and I had wet clothes in my dryer. I followed your video, and to one other the other knobs off and used it. My drying is back up and running. God Bless!
I thought my dryer was broken. Turned out to be a cracked knob! You saved the day with this video. Cost me $0, and took me 30 seconds to switch knobs. Thank you!
We did this last year without seeing your video and it worked great! Until now that the second knob has now broken and we will finally have to buy a replacement knob 😕
For anyone who needs the help you can also go on amazon and get the nob for 6 dollars. Thanks though this literally saved me from wearing wet cloths to work 😭 lol
I just want to say thank you so much for this video! Me & my father spent hours taking apart my dryer & nothing worked. We were about to give up when I came across your video & it worked! Thank you for saving me tons of money on a new dryer!!
The simplest solution tends to be the right one - Occam's razor. Thank you for the video. I was immediately thinking I had to replace the timer, but nope - bad knob.
If I'm not too late, you just saved me some money and stress. I might be too late as I've been turning the timer switch with a wrench. I'll try this out tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
Dude you are a life saver!!! :) :) went on you tube never thinking I would ever see my exact dryer with the exactly problem but here you are! Works perfect thank u so much! I am so relived
Thank you smart sir!! Our dryer quit and I knew I couldn't afford another one. I did exactly what you did.I just switched knobs. I thank you from my heart!!
Thanks, Bud! Great Hack! My timer has been broken for 2 weeks. I ordered a 2 pk of knobs as the replacement. I received them today, but they don't fit. There is a metal ring that goes around the knob for reinforcement, but it's not sliding over the stem . I don't want to push too hard and break the plastic stem. I double checked the model # it says it's correct. I have laundry that's been piling up. You SAVED the day!😊
Your a time saver brother! My new knob from my timer replacement broke too. I hope I can finally source out a more sturdy metal make knob sound this is a recurring problem now.
Thank you sooo much! My dryer knob was pretty much out of print. The second knob was too small, but the other worked perfectly just as you said. Thanks!!
Thank you so much! This was a big help! We got the hotpoint washer/dryer set for free from some friends, but it didn't have a timer knob when we got it. They said to use vice grips to turn it. Before we were able to get a new knob, the timer shaft broke off. I ordered the new timer unit and knob and replaced them in August. It just broke again. I thought that the shaft may be broken again and was unsure whether or not to order the timer unit (55 bucks). I just tried the knob trick and it turned! Now I know to just order the new knob with the metal reinforcement ring. Just in time as my in-laws are visiting this next week for the holidays. Thank you again so much!
Thank you so much! You really helped us tonight, when the knob broke, just spinned around and around on our Hotpoint dryer. We switched the knobs until we get to the parts place to get a new knob, but in the meantime, all of my wet clothes are now drying! You are going to be blessed for helping others!
In my case the knob was cracked. So I used super glue to fix it. I got it to work. But I went ahead and order a new knob from Amazon for $5.97, the cheapest plus $5.99 for shipping. Because I'm sure it's going to crack again. Thanks for your video.
Wife rushes in and says the dryer knob is broken and I can't dry clothes! Search TH-cam, find your video and voila, we're drying clothes now! BTW, the replacement part (WE1M652 for GE Dryer Timer Control Knob AP3995164 PS1482196) is available on Amazon. The timer mechanism is pretty stiff...that's why these knob's are breaking.
Oh my goodness! I am so glad I came across this video. So, the knob came off of my HOTPOINT dryer. So, we started using a wrench to turn the timer on the piece that sticks out that I think you are calling a D hook/joint. Now the rubber has broken off so it won't turn with the wrench anymore. So, where do you get the center piece, what's the right name for it and how do you replace it? Does it just screw on the metal piece? I hope you are still reading/ replying to these comments because you have given me hope that I don't have to call a repairman. Thank you!
First of thanks for watching! The stem piece that sticks out is attached to the timer. You can look on eBay for "Hotpoint Dryer Timer" and find the one that matches your part number, it to to a local appliance repair shop and see if they have one in stock. That stem is embedded in the timer unfortunately so the whole unit has to be replaced. You would screw off the top panel at the back of the dryer and the timer is attached to that. Then you'd unplug the cables, twist out the old timer, insert the new timer, plug the cables back in and reconnect the back panel. Take a picture or video before/while you disconnect the timer so that you know how the new one goes back in. That's what I did to replace it and it's still working till today. Hopefully that helps and let me know if you have any questions!!
@@randomreviewsAR Thank you so much for responding so quickly and taking the time to give all of the details for repairs. That is a really smart suggestion about taking a video/pics beforehand so that we know how to replace everything. Honestly, I'm a little nervous about this next level with changing out the timer, etc. but my son and I will try to tackle this over the next few days. Hopefully it will all work out. Thanks so much for being so helpful!
@@robinb5831 it's not too bad if you don't mind working with the screwdriver LOL. Just make sure the dryer is unplugged beforehand. Took me less than 30 minutes total if I can recall correctly.
Just a heads up on these.....the D-shaft is so tight on most of these timers, the knob fails. New knob? The D-shaft strips. New timer and knob? 50/50 crap shoot. These are infuriating. Bring back the metal D-shaft!
@@randomreviewsAR Hi, I tried to do like you suggest but it won't start. Thank you though. I will try to wait for my friends to make it work. I am really bad at those things.
Sir i have a question. i have the exact same dryer as you, and the d shaped plastic piece behind the knob has broken on me. where did you get your replacement pieces from if you dont mind my asking?
I purchased a new timer from eBay. The plastic shaft on mine broke as well so I had to replace the entire timer. It cost me like $60 from eBay. Let me know if you have anymore questions and thanks for watching!
@@randomreviewsAR so mine is same way same dryer that piece broke off so the knob wont fit so what am i ordering from eBay and is it easy to assemble yourself
@@Nickisuchafckndiva take note of how you take the old timer off because the new timer will get put on in the exact reverse order, contacts and all. It wasn't hard to do, just screw out the top back part of the dryer (3-4 screws I believe) and it will open up the part where the timer is. Bee careful when unplugging the contacts so they don't break. Other than that it's matter of removing and replacing.
@@Nickisuchafckndiva sorry, just saw that you asked about what to order. If you remove the old part you'll see the part number. Enter it in the eBay search box to find what you need. Below are a few links for you to try with the part needed: www.ebay.com/itm/323713501924 www.ebay.com/itm/183966888381 www.ebay.com/itm/233230241979
i needed this todsy !! thx for sharing idea. woohoo. i csn wash clothes while waiting for my dial. i just wasted 68bucks for a new timer motor through. lol. oh well.
I have the same dryer and this just happened to us as well. My friends have been living in our house and ordered another knob and it worked but the second time i used it...it popped off and I can't get it to fit back on. I think something is wrong with the actual rigging ...which is why i'm commenting. What did you replace on your dryer before you used the knob from the cycle?
Update: The fix is still working perfectly! Glad I was able to help you guys save money with this simple idea! Thanks everyone for watching!

Bee careful when unplugging the contacts so they don't break. Other than that it's matter of removing and replacing.
@@Nickisuchafckndiva regarding the knob not fitting, if you purchase the right timer then the knob from the other dial should fit it.
@@Nickisuchafckndiva sorry, just saw that you asked about what to order. If you remove the old part you'll see the part number. Enter it in the eBay search box to find what you need. Below are a few links for you to try with the part needed:

We have the same dryer. I need to replace the (d hook?) where do I get a new one?
I ordered mine from eBay. It's attached to the timer so you'll need to order a new timer.
I ordered the timer from eBay since the d slot is attached to it and can't come off
I need a new knob shaft assembly thing like you did, can you tell me where you found the replacement?
I purchased the timer assembly on eBay.
Thanks. I was just about to go to lowes. Mine has an alarm, and I never use it so I took it off.
Awesome! Hopefully it's still holding up! Thanks for watching! 😊

I have the same dryer and this just happened to us as well. My friends have been living in our house and ordered another knob and it worked but the second time i used it...it popped off and I can't get it to fit back on. I think something is wrong with the actual rigging ...which is why i'm commenting. What did you replace on your dryer before you used the knob from the cycle?
I replaced the timer since the shaft that the knob hangs on broke off. I got the timer of eBay for like $60 or so. Let me see if I can find the link.
This worked. Thank you!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching! 😊
YOU THE MAN
