I paid a plumber $150 to replace this part a year ago. I simply took the screws out,ordered the part,paid for 1 day shipping, and screwed the new part on. The washer DID NOT WORK without this part,and worked perfectly the minute I replaced it.

Very simple! Found the part using the diagrams and photographs on this site. When it came, my husband ust pulled the remainder of the broken knob off the little post with a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Slid the new knob on. It took longer to find the pliers than to make the repair!
