Genuine dryer control knob replacement

This Appliance Factory Parts WE01X22616 knob is a new replacement component for dryers. It fits models that use part number GEHWE01X22616 and is sold individually. Homeowners and repair technicians can install it directly to restore selector function.

Direct-fit installation restores cycle selection

The knob mounts on the dryer control shaft and turns the timer or cycle switch through its full range. Because it is an exact mechanical match, the detent feel and pointer alignment remain unchanged after repeated daily use. No adapters or modifications are required during fitting.

Replaces a cracked or stripped original knob

When the factory knob cracks, its splines strip or the pointer breaks off, the dryer can no longer be set accurately. Swapping in this part returns positive engagement with the control shaft. The repair is worthwhile whenever the shaft itself is undamaged and the timer mechanism still operates correctly.

Questions about this item

Does the WE01X22616 control knob draw any power or create heat during daily dryer cycles?

No, the knob is a passive mechanical part with no electrical components, so it adds no power draw or heat.

What must I already own for the WE01X22616 knob to fit and operate correctly?

You need a compatible GE dryer that accepts part number GEHWE01X22616 and an intact control shaft for the knob to grip.

Will the WE01X22616 knob work on an older GE dryer that still uses the same shaft design?

Yes, if the older model lists GEHWE01X22616 as the correct replacement, the knob will fit and function as intended.
