[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3886472, member: 15054"] On the mechanical style washer and dryer know this. That setup has a bunch of points like in an old points distributor. Only turn the knob with the power OFF. If you have the power on and turn the knob to stop the machine or change the setting the points will arc quickly and you can ruin them if you do it enough times. Ruin as in the points can become stuck/welded together and you will notice some cycles do not work. Turn the knobs with power off and enjoy 30+ years of use if they are as good as the old Kenmore stuff. [/QUOTE]
