I have a new timer to replace a broken one and I can't get the of

get a tube of RTV compound at Home Depot, Lowes, etc for a caulking gun. Much neater to use as the pros use it also

ground it

i have not replaced the battery door but have disassembled an S5000 following the service manual

it looks like once you complete the first step 'Removing the R CABINET ASSY' you can withdraw the hinge pin and replace the battery cover without any more disassembly [see attached image]

First unplug the toaster. Remove the crumb tray. Turn toaster over and remove the 4 rubber feet an 2 other screws holding the bottom on. this will expose the works and the back of the timer.
Gently pry the knob off evenly on both side this will expose 2 screws holding the timer to the toaster. Remove the screws the timmer is now loose for removal. The new timer schould have included a couple of wiring diagrams to attach the new switch. please follow it carefully it is not the same as the old one. reverse steps to reasemble toaster

Both the timer and the knob is replaceable.
Locate the model number of the unit. Here's info on how to find it:

You can get the timer and the knob from www.searspartsdirect.com or call 1-800-252-1698.
Once you have the part, remove the screws from the back of the control panel, removing the back cover. From there you should see the timer. It will either have one wiring harness or many wires attached to the timer. INSURE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED WITH NO POWER TO IT. If there is a harness, unplug the harness. The timer will be held in place either by a couple screws on the front of the control panel that is normally hidden by the knob AND/OR a screw INSIDE the control panel at the timer. There could also be a plastic tab holding the timer in place. Raise this tab and turn timer until it is free. Remove timer and put new timer in place. Fit harness onto timer.
If there are many wires attached to the old timer, I would hold the new timer in my hand and transfer the wires one-by-one to insure you get the right wires on the right terminal tab. Once wires are transferred, remove old timer and put new timer in place.
At this point. put new knob on the timer on the front of the control panel. Plug unit in, stay clear of exposed wiring, and test dryer. If it works, replace back cover and you are done.
If it doesn't work, further troubleshooting will be needed and Ill need the make and model number.
Hope this helps. Please take a minute to give a testimonial if I've help you.
Thanks, G

If your handy enough to attempt to replace the control timer yourself..You can start by unplugging the dryer first and removing the screws on the rear of the control panel...You'll then need to slide a flat screw driver under the clips located on the left and the right sides of the panel that attach to the top lid of the dryer... its a little tricky but you'll figure it out... once inside the control panel remove the nob from the timer and remove the wiring clip attached to the timer...remove all the screws holding the timer in place on the panel...A new timer could cost up to $85.00 it depend on the model...Good luck

Disconnect power to the dryer and remove the screws attaching the console rear panel to the console and pull the panel off.

Inspect the wires connected to the timer and ensure a snug fit connection. Clean the connectors and terminals then reseat it several times to ward off dirt within the connectors.

Reconnect power to the dryer and start it; replace the timer (part number 3398195 ) if the dryer still won't stay running. Unplug the dryer and pull the timer knob off the console. Remove the screws securing the timer to the bracket and remove it. Secure the new timer in place then disconnect the wires from the old timer one at a time and connect it to the corresponding terminal on the new timer.

Push the timer back into position on the console and secure the console rear panel in place.

I did fix this problem myself, I found a heavy duty 'bread tie' type of wire, I tied it around the base of the stuck sleeve and wrapped the loose end of the 'bread tie' around my pliers and pulled very hard and it shot off like a bullet, I am now using my replacement knob..yeah for me..

Change your timer

First remove screws X2 from back of the machine that hold the top cover on. Once removed the whole top slides backwards and can then be lifted off. This gives you access to the plastic clips that hold the timer face panel on. The main control dial must first be pulled off through the front cover, then remove the front cover by unclipping it (a pain and a fiddle!) The dial on the timer can then be pulled off revealing the two mounting screws that hold the timer in!!
