Setup and Installation
Before beginning any installation or replacement, ensure the washing machine is completely disconnected from its power source to prevent electrical shock. Safety is paramount.
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet. If it's hardwired, turn off the corresponding circuit breaker.
- Remove Old Knob: Gently pull the old knob directly off the control shaft. It may require a firm but steady pull. Avoid twisting or prying forcefully, as this could damage the shaft.
- Inspect Shaft: Examine the control shaft for any damage or debris. Clean the shaft if necessary.
- Install New Knob: Align the new ForeverPRO 134191800 knob with the control shaft. Push the knob firmly onto the shaft until it is securely seated. Ensure it clicks into place or feels snug.
- Test Fit: Gently turn the new knob to ensure it rotates smoothly and engages with the washer's control mechanism.
- Reconnect Power: Plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet or restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operating
The ForeverPRO 134191800 Washer Knob functions identically to the original knob it replaces. To operate, simply turn the knob to select the desired wash cycle, temperature setting, or other available options on your washing machine's control panel. Ensure the knob is fully engaged in each selection for proper function.
Maintenance
Maintaining your washer knob is simple and helps ensure its longevity and proper function.
- Cleaning: Wipe the knob periodically with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or markings.
- Inspection: Occasionally check that the knob remains securely attached to the control shaft. If it feels loose, gently push it back into place.
- Avoid Force: Do not apply excessive force when turning the knob. If it feels stiff, there might be an issue with the washer's internal control mechanism, not the knob itself.
Troubleshooting
- Knob Does Not Fit: Double-check the model number of your washing machine against the compatibility list. Ensure the control shaft is clean and free of obstructions.
- Knob Feels Loose: Ensure the knob is pushed firmly onto the control shaft. If it continues to be loose, the shaft itself might be worn or damaged, requiring professional service for the washer.
- Washer Not Responding to Knob Turns: If the knob turns but the washer does not respond, the issue is likely with the internal control mechanism of the washing machine, not the knob. Consult your washer's service manual or a qualified technician.
