The exterior knob has come off our Zanussi FL 1085. I've taken off the part beneath that it fitted into and found it has s a bit of plastic broken off. I can't remove any more to get the entire assembly out, though the parts are available on-line, which suggests it's possible to do this. There are two cross headed screws visible but one is so tight that it is impossible to remove - and is there any point in a lay person proceeding any further anyway?

Thanks for this advice. I'll have another go, knowing that it can be done!

the screws do come out to allow the timer to be removed and a new cam to be fitted.tighten the screw and then untighten as this may help release it
