Using this ratchet is easy. First, turn off the power to your washing machine to ensure safety. Then, locate the timer bezel and carefully remove the old ratchet from behind it. Replace it with this new ratchet. When turning the timer knob, you should notice it moves smoothly. Remember, always keep the power off when working on your washing machine. For maintenance, it's a good idea to check the ratchet periodically for signs of wear. If you notice the timer knob getting hard to turn again, it might be time to replace the ratchet. Keep the area around the ratchet clean to prevent debris from causing issues.
