Product details
This genuine Ariston part, A298638, is listed as a rotary timer-temp, a dial-operated control that looks after both timing and temperature selection. It comes through the Ariston, Indesit and Whirlpool group parts range. The record doesn't say which appliance or models it belongs to, so lean on the part number. When A298638 matches the label on your old control or the code on your repairer's quote, you can order with confidence.
Faults that point to a worn rotary timer control
A rotary timer control uses internal cams and contacts that switch circuits on and off as the dial is turned and as the time counts down. On a timer-temp control, part of that switching also sets the heat level. With use, the contacts pit and burn, the cam gears wear and the shaft can crack. You might see the dial stop moving on its own, the appliance staying on after the time runs out, no heat at some settings, or scorch marks around the terminals. A dial that feels loose or slips on its shaft is another clue.

Changing over a rotary timer control
Unplug the appliance or switch it off at the wall before removing any panels. Pull off the knob, then take a clear photo of every wire and terminal number on the old control before disconnecting it. Move the wires across one at a time so none are swapped. Hard-wired appliances should be handled by a licensed electrician. Run a short test at a few settings once everything is back together.
