I have an old Lavamat h-axis washer that Im using because my Miele is not working yet.

The timer knob is becoming increasingly difficult to pull out to start. It actually takes both my hands to get it to pull out!

Any ideas of what I could do to free this up. Would some oil sent down the central shaft help?

Ideas?

Thanks!

Guy

PB nutblaster or Kroil

Post Katrina lot of stuff here in the flooded house got stuck just due to salt air and vapor, even stuff that did not go underwater. The old 1976 frontloader's pull switch got stuck on, and I had a switched plug strip attached to do on and off. I used PB nutblaster on the timer's shaft many times. Finally after finding a replacement timer the old switch now works fine.

There is stuff that I had that went under salt water and as stuck that I freed up with this stuff. Tough stuff requires time too.

Kroil works well too
