XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob
The XPARTCO WE1M652 is an aftermarket replacement timer control knob for GE dryers, and it also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. It presses onto the timer's D-shaped shaft and is the part you turn to pick and adjust the cycle setting, so it is your direct link to the timer mechanism behind the control panel.
The knob is white, 3" in diameter, and takes a D-shaped shaft. Over time it can crack, break, or go missing, or the shaft opening can wear until the knob spins freely without moving the timer. Typical signs of a worn or damaged knob are a cracked or broken knob, one that won't stay seated, one that spins without changing the cycle, or cycle markings that have worn away. It directly replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196.
Quick Answer
Choose the XPARTCO WE1M652 Dryer Timer Knob for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers with a cracked, broken, or missing timer knob, a knob that spins without adjusting the cycle, or worn cycle markings. White, 3" diameter, D-shaped shaft. Replaces 1264289, AH1482196, EA1482196, AP3995164, AGE25175, EAP1482196, PD00024388, PS1482196. Not the same as the similarly-numbered WE1M654 — using the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing even though it may physically fit.

Compatibility
This timer knob is compatible with select GE dryers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore dryers built on the GE platform, including model numbers such as HTDX100EM8WW, HTDX100ED6WW, HTDX100EM6WW, HTDX100GM8WW, and HTDX100ED2WW.
Note — not the same as WE1M654: A similarly-numbered knob, WE1M654, is a separate part used on different models. GE's own support has confirmed that installing the wrong knob can throw off your dryer's cycle timing, causing the cycle to cut off before reaching the correct "off" position, even if the wrong knob appears to fit. Always confirm your exact model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which knob your dryer needs.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My old knob cracked and I replaced it with a similar-looking one, but now my drying time seems off. What happened?
This usually means the wrong knob was fitted. GE's own support has confirmed that the similarly-numbered WE1M654 is not correct for every model, and on the wrong dryer it makes the cycle cut off before the true "off" position, which throws off drying time even though the knob may slip onto the shaft. If your timing is off after a knob swap, double-check that WE1M652 (not WE1M654) is the right part for your model.
My knob spins freely without changing the cycle. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this knob resolves. If the knob's D-shaped socket has worn out or become stripped, it can no longer grip the timer's shaft properly, letting the knob spin without actually turning the internal timer mechanism.
Is this hard to install?
No, it's one of the simplest dryer repairs — the old knob pulls straight off the shaft and the new one presses straight on, with no tools needed. Some customers have noted the fit is quite snug and takes a bit of extra force to fully seat, but no special skills or hardware are required.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the size, D-shaped shaft fit, and white finish of the original WE1M652 timer knob used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dryers.
