• Restores a visible pointer/indicator for accurate temperature selection.
• Improves grip and tactile feedback for safer, easier temperature changes.

• Turn appliance controls OFF and cool before replacing the knob.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align the new knob splines with the shaft and push on until fully seated.
• If the knob is stuck, use gentle rocking while pulling; do not pry on surrounding surfaces or force the shaft.

• Keeps out dust, lint and debris that can cause corrosion or arcing
• Useful when the original cover is cracked, missing or showing burn marks

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing electrical components
• Typically installs over the terminal block and secures with the existing fastener(s); inspect mounting hardware for wear
• Replace if cracked, melted or if terminals are exposed; ensure cover seats fully before restoring power
