Timer Control Knob
The ABS plastic D-shaped receptacle on the rear of the knob is the primary point of failure. Repeated torque application causes the plastic collar to split, losing the necessary friction to turn the metal timer D-shaft. Once the structural integrity of the plastic stem is compromised, the knob cannot exert the force required to overcome the timer's internal spring resistance.

Dryer Timer Assembly
If the knob is structurally sound but the shaft cannot be rotated, the internal gear train of the timer assembly has likely suffered a catastrophic mechanical seizure. This occurs when the internal cam-driven contacts weld shut or the plastic synchronous motor gears shear, locking the output shaft in a fixed position.
