- Symptom
- Oven control knob broke.
- Cause
- The spacer between the knob and the switch broke.
- Fix
- Identified the part from the client's photos, brought it with us, and repaired the knob on site in one visit.
The oven control knob on this LG electric range in the Strathmore Gate neighborhood of Palm Harbor broke. Without a working knob there’s no good way to set the oven.
Photos first
The client sent us pictures before we ever showed up. From those we figured out which part we needed and brought it along, so there was no second trip.
What we found
On these LG ranges there’s a spacer between the knob itself and the switch behind it, and that spacer was what broke. Here are the knob parts laid out on a paper towel, including the small spring clip.
We opened up the control panel to work on it.
The fix
We repaired it on the spot and the knob went back on. If a knob on your range or oven is loose or broken, send us a photo of it and we’ll tell you what we need. Our oven repair service covers jobs like this in Palm Harbor and the surrounding area.
