How can I repair a broken washing machine knob?

You can buy these at the Home Store or go on-line under the manufactures name and get the part. You will need the model number and the type of knob.

Turning the knob on the washing maching when it is broken is hard. I used plyers until I got the chance to order a replacement knob using the manufacturers item number found in my user guide. I removed the prongs and the new knob just snapped on.

Replacement knobs are available at appliance repair outlets or even hardware shops. If you aren't fuzzy on matching the others, you can use a lid from a cream or other products. Plastic wrap can be used to secure the knob for a tight fit.
