Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any service work. Knob replacement is typically a low-complexity task requiring no special tools, but care should be taken not to force the knob onto the shaft to avoid cracking the part or damaging the underlying control stem. Consult the appliance service manual for model-specific mounting details if resistance is encountered during installation.
