GE timer repair
I’ll have to refresh my memory on how these stems attached but you likely had a retaining washer of sorts break off or get dislodged. I’ve never had that happen but I’ve had to replace shrouds in those timers when the teeth are worn down. It’s totally repairable but is like performing surgery. The clamshell housing will have to be opened up and the floating contacts will have to be replaced in an exact way so everything functions properly and doesn’t short out. I have the diagram for this as well. If you’re not comfortable with timer repair then you may consider mailing it to someone who can do the repair for you.

Broken GE clamshell timer
It looks like the end of the steel shaft has broken off you need a new shaft I could confirm if you took a picture of the shaft sideways.
The shafts are still around, it may not involve complete disassembly of the timer. But Jons advice is good if you don’t wanna fool with it you may have to get somebody who’s good with puzzles the timer is completely repairable. GE did not generally cell complete timers for the style washer you had to repair the existing one. John L | ||

Yay, Jon! Glad you had a spare. I only had some NOS hubs and knobs/clips on hand.
Looks like this washer is an NB, which looks as if the rev B models have the updated timer with the plastic hubs (WH1X2188) vs. the rev A with the metal hub (WH1X1941) - part 7 on the diagram. While the shaft is then dependent on being either a metal or plastic hub, the detent pin - part 11 on the diagram / WH1X1498, is the same on both and I bet that clip is missing/broke. Ben | ||
