The GE / Hotpoint dryer timer knob WE1M654 is a classic breakage: the D-bore strips and the timer will not turn. A printed knob with a snug bore fixes the dryer for less than the OEM part.
Shaft fit: D-shaft timer stem (original knob is 2-3/4″ dia) — measure the stem and set the exact bore in the designer. Knobulator lets you set the exact bore
shape and clearance, so the knob grips the shaft instead of spinning — the usual failure of
one-size-fits-all replacements.
