Frigidaire 131873500 Dryer Timer Knob White

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 131873500 is a replacement dryer timer knob designed for the front control panel of residential dryers. It mounts over the timer shaft using a shaped internal coupling that transfers rotational input directly to the timer control unit, allowing the user to select drying cycles and adjust cycle timing. The knob features a white finish and is a direct-fit replacement for worn, cracked, or missing knobs. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight component that restores full control panel function. Appliance technicians and experienced DIY repair persons are the typical installers.

This knob is used on residential dryers across multiple brands manufactured under the Frigidaire and Electrolux family. Compatible brands stated in the product data include Crosley, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse. It fits dryers where the timer knob interfaces with the timer shaft on the front control panel. It directly replaces superseded part numbers 131947300 and 134042600.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dryer at the wall outlet or circuit breaker before beginning any control panel service. The knob typically pulls straight off the timer shaft and the replacement presses on without tools, but confirm shaft alignment with the internal coupling before seating fully. If the control panel requires partial disassembly to access the timer shaft, refer to the appliance service manual for the specific model. This repair is within the scope of a qualified appliance technician or a knowledgeable DIY repair person comfortable with basic appliance disassembly.
