Load Size Selector Broken

[NEED_UR_HELP]

sooo.... the turning dial on my washer cracked one day, and ended up basically breaking up bad enough so the whole entire knob / dial piece has came off.... leaving the metal rod exposed.....The rod will not budge or turn no matter what i use for leverage. So my question is , without new parts, is there anyway I can continue to use the machine (i.e. select a load size) without a replacement knob.

It sounds like the dial broke because the control has seized up or somehow jammed, if so that would need replacing too.

soo... there isnt a way to use the broken selector at all, like wit pliers or anything?

Chances are it would break inside but if it's seized up there's not much to lose.
