Check Before Replacing
- With the appliance disconnected from power, inspect the knob for cracks, a stripped hub, or damaged retaining features.
- Check whether the knob’s internal opening positively engages the timer stem rather than spinning freely.
- Verify that the timer stem and knob align correctly and that the knob remains seated when gently operated.
- If a replacement knob repeatedly comes loose, inspect the timer’s retaining mechanism and stem for damage before replacing the knob again.
