Parts for Craftsman 917288080: Electrical Parts

This is a replacement rotary potentiometer for appliance control panels—provides smooth variable input for temperature/speed/setting adjustments so the appliance responds correctly to user control changes. What it does:

• Acts as the variable resistor that the control knob uses to set temperature, speed, or other settings
• Restores accurate user input when original control becomes intermittent, jumps, or fails to change settings smoothly
• Helps eliminate erratic readouts or unresponsive knob adjustments linked to a worn or faulty potentiometer
• Works as the electronic interface between the knob and the appliance control board

• Disconnect power before accessing internal control panel to avoid shock or damage
• Handle PCB and connector pins carefully; avoid bending leads or contaminating contacts
• Replace only with the exact part number listed and reassemble panel alignment before testing

This EII control knob replaces a worn, cracked, or missing oven/stove control knob to restore safe, accurate selection of heat settings. It provides a like-for-like interface for turning and selecting temperature or function positions. What it does:

• Fits over the appliance's control shaft to allow manual selection of heat or function settings
• Restores a secure grip and readable pointer for accurate setting adjustment
• Helps resolve symptoms like a loose, spinning, missing, or cosmetically damaged knob
• Re-establishes positive detent feel when the original knob no longer indexes correctly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service; follow all safety guidelines
• Most knobs pull straight off the control shaft; some models use a small set screw—inspect before removing
• Align the knob's splines/pointer to the shaft and push on firmly (or tighten set screw if present)
