Product review (3 stars): Correct knob, unclear pricing strategy.
This is a replacement for the knob on my combination washer dryer. It is plastic with a small metal clip inside to hold it one timer. I doubt that the knob cost more than a dollar to manufacture. A local parts dealer wanted more than $40 for this knob, but he said it was a lifetime and they would replace it should it break (fine if they manage to stay in business longer than other part suppliers have). Also that suggested to me that the knob is known for breaking. Other knobs from the same manufacturer run as cheap as $6. Why is this knob so expensive? Are appliance parts becoming like generic pharmaceuticals? If this one breaks, I'll be looking for another solution.
