This seemed to be a common problem with the dials of this era, unfortunately. I think I have a spare in my timer parts box if anyone goes for this!

Good basic machines but you can see why whirlpool in Kenmore so greatly outsold GE hot point machines in this time. These two machines are not close to the overall performance of a similar basic whirlpool pair in the mid 70s. John

Nice. Any idea why the knob rotates counter clockwise vs clockwise?
