So I get this bisque washer on Sunday and it’s missing a knob, and the timer knob it does have is weirdly disintegrating.
The cheapest replacement timer knob I could find was over $20...I paid about twice that for the whole machine! So i decide to use the old one and I finally clean off the rubber grip (last pic is what it should look like but very much didn’t) from the knob that has turned to goo (third pic)...and in the process of reinstalling it on the washer I broke part of the flimsy plastic on the timer that holds the knob! There should be two white arms around the center yellowish post, not one (second pic).
Not my morning...then I remember I have an earlier model intact control panel with lovely knobs, also in bisque, could i swap the two? Save my dumb ass and upgrade the washer to an extra rinse option and more temp options would sure be appealing.
Drilling 2 holes in the top of the cabinet won’t be very hard, the wiring could be a challenge though.
As a side note, when I first looked at the machine I noticed it needed agitator dogs, the owner had no clue! She had been using it that way for who knows how long. I told her she would, “really notice a difference in the way your new machine washes.”[this post was last edited: 2/4/2019-16:38]
