I performed the repair as you described yesterday. I let the epoxy cure for 24
hours and checked it today and it seems to work fine. Will see how long it
lasts considering the abusive habits of tenants! Thank you very much!

That's what I did - the metal sits in the slot and turns it. I didn't see a
reason to fasten it, but I also don't see any reason not to. Remember, I'm
not an engineer, I only play like one ...

Right but OK Don said to put the metal piece in the shaft slot and cover shaft
and metal with grease. If I do that then the metal piece will not be adhered to
either the shaft or the knob. Is that the idea?

No, don't epoxy metal to shaft. Only epoxy metal to knob.

That's what the oil, grease, mold release agent is for - so the knob isn't
glued to the shaft and can be removed. It worked on the coffee grinder.

I like the slotting idea, along with some glue to fill the gaps, but arranged so
that it will pull off again. Take a shot anyway, if it ends up perma-glued you
can
always destroy it next time it needs to come apart.

I just had to do a similar repair on the wife's coffee grinder. I'd cut a
slot in the shaft, insert a small piece of metal that's wider than the
shaft creating wings that you can grab with the knob. Coat the shaft and
wings with oil, grease, or mold release. Cut slots for the wings in the
knob,
yeah just glue it up and if it ever breaks again cut it off and buy a
new one. A used dryer would probably be cheaper than the part,
unfortunately, or maybe a used appliance shop would have one for a few
dineros

I have a GE dryer with a plastic knob where the housing that slides over the
timer shaft has cracked. As a result, it wore down the d shaped plastic shaft
and now the knob slips on the shaft. Only way to turn it is with pliers but
then you can’t know where in the cycle you are and this is a
