Description

This replacement control knob restores a worn or damaged gas range control interface so you can safely and accurately adjust burner/oven settings. It gives a secure grip and reliable rotational control for normal operation. What it does:

• Fits onto the gas control shaft to allow manual selection of burner or oven settings.
• Restores proper tactile feel and alignment when the original knob is cracked, stripped, or missing.
• Helps prevent accidental slips or imprecise adjustments that make flame/temperature control difficult.
• Common symptom: knob spins, won't engage the valve, or is physically broken and cannot be used.

What's included: One control knob. Install notes:

• Turn off gas supply and electric power to the appliance and allow all surfaces to cool before attempting replacement.
• Remove the old knob by pulling it straight off the control shaft; align the new knob to the splines and push it firmly into place.
• Do not force the knob if it doesn't seat smoothly; double-check alignment.
