Possible Causes

Worn timer gears, Grease or debris inside timer, Broken timer shaft, Internal spring failure

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working on the timer.

Do not force: Avoid forcing the knob; this can break the shaft.
Remove knob: Gently pull the knob straight off to inspect for cracks or damage. Replace if the knob itself is broken.
Access timer: Open the control housing to reach the mechanical timer. Check for obvious debris or misalignment.
Replace timer: Mechanical timers are usually sealed and not serviceable. Replace the timer assembly if it does not advance or sticks.
