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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFaults that point to a worn rotary timer control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Ariston part A298638\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotary timer and temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the Ariston, Indesit and Whirlpool group range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppliance and model fit not on file, order by part number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging over a rotary timer control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the appliance or switch it off at the wall before removing any panels.
