Broken timer knob
You should be able to remove the knob and epoxy it back together.
Even as a service person I’ve never seen one of these knobs break like that so I don’t think it’s a very common problem. If you can’t find one I’m sure I have boxes full of them. Send me a personal message through the site and I can send you one. John. | ||

Kenmore timer knob part number 8541457
Hi Bobby , I did find one of these knobs. It doesn’t look that great but it’s usable. Apparently it’s a little bit of an odd knob.
It would be very easy to take yours and epoxy it back together if you want to send a personal message through the site I can send you this one. You can also search that part number on eBay and you might find one in better condition, John | ||

Thank you so much John. I'll try the epoxy trick first. All the plastic knobs on this machine are seeming to deteriorate. It must have been a wonky new plastic they tried. | ||

That's a testimony to todays quality Jack. I'm still stumped as to getting a replacement. I'm going to analyze some repair scenarios this weekend. I'll let you know what I come up with and if it works. Thank God for the old Maytag, still going strong. Bobby in Boston | ||

It is unfortunate that plastic gets brittle and breaks. It will only be a matter of time before the lugs on the plastic timer shaft break off. The timer shaft has quite a stiff resistance when pushing and pulling the knob. | ||
