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)
