Hi All,
Putting this out here although the part I'm after is not quite electronic.
My Mother in law's washing machine timer knob kept spinning around with out any resistance. She could still select cycles if she used the inner ring which has the marker to indicate cycle. I pulled the timer out (it's a 1995 Kleenmaid) and couldn't see anything obvious.
I then pulled the timer itself apart (a few useful youtube videos showed me how) and finally found the issue. There is a red collar that sits around the knob rod. The teeth on this red part (see photo) have all damaged and have broken off through age as has the metal pin that sits through the rod. I could probably find the pin elsewhere but have not been able to find the red part anywhere on the web. The replacement timer is around $350 or reconditioned around $190 but it looks like a cheap part to replace.
Any thoughts? Even tried looking for CAD for 3D printing with no luck.
