Remove washing machine knob - GE GTWN5050MWS Washer

Replacing the wash cycle selector knob on an Ariston AV 105 washing machine can be done with the following steps:

1. Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source.
2. Locate the wash cycle selector knob on the control panel of the washing machine.
3. Remove the old wash cycle selector knob by pulling it straight off the control panel.
4. Inspect the knob shaft to ensure that it is not damaged or worn. If the shaft is damaged, it may need to be replaced before installing the new knob.
5. Align the new wash cycle selector knob onto the knob shaft, ensuring that it is fully seated.
6. Push the new knob firmly onto the knob shaft until it clicks into place.
7. Test the new wash cycle selector knob by turning it to different wash cycle settings to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
8. Once you are satisfied that the new knob is working properly, plug the washing machine back into the power source and turn it on.

If you do not have a replacement knob, you can contact Ariston or a local appliance parts supplier to obtain the correct part. Make sure to have the model number and serial number of your washing machine on hand when ordering a replacement knob to ensure that you receive the correct part.

To remove the program selector knob from a Hoover washing machine DYN9164DPG, please follow these steps:

1. Unplug the washing machine from the power source.
2. Locate the small metal tab located underneath the program selector knob.
3. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the metal tab.
4. Pull the program selector knob off the machine.

The metal tab acts as a locking mechanism to keep the knob in place, so be sure to pull the knob straight off the machine once the tab has been released. If you encounter any resistance, double-check that the metal tab is fully released before attempting to pull the knob off again. Once removed, you should be able to access and replace the selector switch.

MOST LIKELY IT NEEDS A NEW TIMER ,BEST LEFT TO A SERVICE TECH

The timer on a washing Kenmore washing machine is the brains of the unit. The timer controls how long the clothes are to be washed, rinsed, spun and dried. The timer is located behind the timer knob in the main control panel. If the timer fails, it can be replaced with just a few hand tools.
1 Unplug the washing machine's cord from the electrical outlet.
2 Remove the two screws securing the main-panel end caps with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Lift the main panel up and rotate it backward so the inside of the panel is exposed. If your model does not have end caps, slide a putty knife between the main panel and the washing machine's top, then pry up to free the panel from its retaining clips.
3 Turn the knob by hand from one side while looking at the back of the timer from the other side. You should see the timer knob's shaft turning. Grasp the black plastic locking tab in the center of the timer knob's shaft with a pair of needle-nose pliers and pull it out. You should feel a click.
4 Pull the timer knob off of its shaft. You may need to hold the locking tab with the pliers as you do this. Remove the trim plate from under the knob.
5 Unplug the wiring connector from the back of the timer. Remove the screws securing the timer to the main panel with a nut driver and remove the timer.
6 Install the new timer into the panel and secure it with the screws, using a nut driver. Install the timer's trim plate and wire connector.
7 Install the knob onto the timer's shaft. Make sure the locking tab is still pulled out before installing the knob. Once the knob is pushed onto the shaft, hold the knob with one hand while pushing the locking tab in from the other side. You should feel it click into position.
8 Reinstall the main panel and end caps, if applicable. Plug in the electrical cord and run the washer on various wash and rinse cycles to test that the timer is working.

The cycle selector is not engaged onto the timer shaft. Need to remove the on/off knob by removing the plastic "U" clip. Remove the cycle selctor knob and check that the steel spring clip on the selector is fully seated. Re-install the cycle selector onto the timer shaft aligning the selector key with the with tthe notch on the timer shaft. Re-install the on/off knob.

The cycle selector and on/off combination is a poor design. Users press the on/off knob in and turn clockwise to set the wash cycle. If you're not gentle this action wears the teeth on the timer shaft and the user has to press harder and harder to set the wash cycle. This pressing causes the cycle selector to be pushed off the timer shaft and you can no longer operate the machine.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Stop using the on/off knob to set the wash cycle. Press on the cycle selector to set the wash cycle. Use the on/off knob only for starting or stopping the machine. Don't press or pull too hard on the on/off knob or you will wind up pushing the cycle selector off the timer shaft.

if you pull on the knob it will come off it has a metal clip that is pretty snug on the stem but it will come off, you still have to take the cack cover plate off to get to the switch and do the actual replacement
