Product review (5 stars): Very much appreciated improvement
This was so much better than the original equipment. The problem with the original is that it had been molded completely of plastic so as you continually turned the knob to adjust the timer, the plastic shaft of the knob would eventually crack where it was secured to the metal shaft of the timer. This rendered the knob useless for adjusting the timer of the dryer as it would just spin around the shaft. In the 6 years that I had owned this dryer, I had to replace the dryer knobs two times. When I received the new knobs, I noticed that the plastic shaft of the knob that secures to the half moon shaped metal shaft was reinforced with a metal band to prevent it from cracking. I think I am now able to stop complaining about the !@x !x@m stupidly designed, small but important piece of an otherwise trouble free dryer.
