I NEED A REPLACEMENT KNOB FOR MY UNIT

Pretty much what's available would be from donor machines, ie eBay, Craigslist, etc.

..

is there a local sewing repiar guy near you . tho parts may cost as much as from Sears

you will have to replace the entire switch as the shaft is not available separately.

I would follow his recommendation. If it is not repaired correctly you will have temperature problems and it will hold the know in the right position.

Check on eBay for "Knob for Viking Toaster VT201 or VT401". This knob is available.

Yes this can be place but you have to replace the whole switch they are not very expensive but the knob can cost as much as 14.00 dollars.

well if you broke only the knob, then thats an easy fix.. just obtain part # 154535903 - KNOB and replace.
however if you broke the shaft off inside the knob you will need to procure part # 154668901 - CONTROL MODULE
remove power from the dishwasher and remove the screws holding the inner door panel to the door.
once that is removed you should see the control assembly and related wire harness that needs to be disconnected and screws that need to be removed, etc..
hope that helps,
best of luck,
ttfn

you can get on amazon for sure. take a look here Thanksgiving essentials from the Oster brand. p.s. take a look on seller reviews. I hope this was helpful. cheers

yes it can be repaired.youll need to call a tv repair shop and have them come out and fix it but it shouldnt cost alot to repair
