Answer Greg, Are you sure there knobs are moving on thier own ? The burner switches are a basic infinite switch, the only way they should move is to manually turn them,yourself. If they were on the panel between the oven and the cooktop, like some units, I would think someone was bumping into them. The other possibility, would be grease and debris getting into/ onto the shaft mechanism on the switch. You may want to unplug the power cord or turn the power off to the range, remove the burner knobs, and clean the switch shafts with a hot damp soapy cloth or de greasing solution, and let the moisture evaporate before you restore power to the range. Otherwise you'll need to replace the affected switches. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 6, 2011
