LG electric range with six control knobs and a pull-out warming drawer in a Strathmore Gate, Palm Harbor kitchen
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.
