Hi,
I’ve broken the knob on my washing machine, it’s the one for the wash/spin programme. The whole front of the knob broke off as I was trying to lever it off in the process of fixing another problem. It’s an AEG OKO Lavamat. I’ve called AEG and they’ve quoted almost £18 for a replacement(inc P&P). Is there a cheaper way of fixing it? are there any pattern parts suppliers?Re: AEG OKO Lavamat washing machine knob broken
There definitely won’t be a pattern spare available 😉
If you post up the model number etc and I’ll check the price for you, although it will almost certainly be the same as you have been quoted by AEG.
Dave.
Re: AEG OKO Lavamat washing machine knob broken
Many of the earlier series of AEG’s have two knobs (Timer Knob/Thermostat Knob), both of which are identical, so you can switch them over if that will solve the problem?
Just a thought, however as Dave suggests, do give us the full model number AND the Product number as well (usually 9 digits long)

Re: AEG OKO Lavamat washing machine knob broken
Sadly, the knobs are not interchangeable on my model. I did discover the secret of getting them off, you prise the thin top cover off and there’s a little lever which you just prise towards the outer rim of the knob and it slides off easily! The metal spindle has a notch and the levered bit has a spur which fits into the notch.
I’m going to try and repair it with glassfibre and araldite and see if it holds.
Thanks for your help so far.
