Description

This control knob replaces a worn or broken stove/oven control knob and restores clear, safe temperature and function selection. The biscuit-colored knob matches original styling for a clean, finished look. What it does:

• Fits onto the appliance control shaft to allow manual selection of settings and temperatures.
• Replaces cracked, stripped, loose, or missing knobs that are hard to turn or won't stay set.
• Restores tactile feedback for accurate control of burners/oven functions.
• Helps prevent accidental setting changes by providing a secure grip.

What's included:

• One biscuit-colored control knob.

Install notes:

• Remove power to the appliance before replacing controls to avoid electrical or burn hazards.
• Pull off the old knob (or lift release clip if present) and align the new knob on the splined shaft; press firmly until seated.
• If the knob feels loose or doesn't engage, don't force—check shaft condition.
