GE Model #JBP76GS1WW Oven Control Knob

Knob sheared off. Plastic shaft broke in half. Half of the shaft is in the knob, the other half is imbeded in the rheostat temperature control assembly which is factory soldered to the circuit board. The only thing I can think to do short of buying a new $350 Control Assembly is to drill a centered hole in each part of the shaft and epoxy the shank of a machine screw into each end of the sheared shaft efectively joining them back together.
The only other thought is to drill out the broken shaft from the temp control assembly and attempt to replace it with a stell shaft of one sort or another. In looking at the rheostat of the temperature control assembly, I'm unsure how the shaft end joins and manipulates the rheostat inside.
Any thoughts?

The knob on my electric Bosch oven doesn't grip onto the shaft and keeps turning/ twisting round. the actual knob is ok and pulls off to check, but the problem seems to be with the white plastic shaft

Get some epoxy putty, grease the shaft with Vaseline, put a small pea size piece of epoxy rolled thinly and insert it into the knob where the flat part registers on the knob. Push the knob into place and leave it 24 hours to cure.

I use this.

My oven wont turn off from the knob it keeps turning

You didn't say whether you have a gas or electric oven, or oven & stove. I'll assume you have a stove, just to cover all bases.

First, you should shut down the oven: a gas stove will have a valve on the gas line behind the stove. The valve will either have a red handle or a flat stem that usually has a hole in it. Turn either valve 1/4 turn to shut off gas, use a wrench on the flat stem. An electric stove should be shut off by flipping off the double circuit breaker for it in your electric panel. Do not unplug an electric stove when it is on; this can damage the plug &/or electrocute you.

Most likely the inside of the knob has stripped out. Look at the knob for a hole that has a setscrew in it: a small allen wrench or screwdriver will loosen the setscrew, most knobs don't have them and will pull off. Be careful to use even pressure on two sides of the knob; if you can't pull it off, use two butter knives or flat screw drivers to pry it up enough to get a grip on it.

Look at the center stem on the back of the knob, it will likely be cracked or stripped. Some stems have a D-shaped metal insert that strips out inside the plastic stem. If you have one, pull off a burner knob and compare the stems in the back, if they are the same size, put the burner knob on the shaft for the oven control, and use that knob to turn the oven control off.

If the burner knob won't fit, use your fingers or a pair of pliers (gently) to turn off the oven control shaft. If the shaft stops normally, you can turn the stove back on using either the gas valve or the circuit breaker. If you have a gas stove that doesn't have electric ignition (a clicking noise when you turn on a burner) you may need to re-light the pilots for the burners. Lift the covers off the burners to re-light the pilots.

If you have succeeded in turning off the oven, you need a new knob -- you can get one at an appliance parts store or maybe a hardware store. If the oven control did not turn off normally, I would leave the oven/stove turned off: the control itself will need to be replaced by a qualified repair person.

Creda Oven Model ESO 210 broken multifunction selector knob

Same thing happened with my Creda ESO 210. The function selector works find. It just doesn't rotate the piece of plastic that has the funtion symbols on it. I contacted the authorised parts supplier in Canada and was told it would cost $90 for the part. After a long wait, the part arrived and it wasn't the correct piece (they'd ordered the little plastic circle with the function symbols on it instead of the knob thingee that moves it). So, if that cost $90, I dread to think what the broken mechanism would cost. So, I gave up and I simply count the clicks from the off position to use my oven. However, if you really want to follow up on this, you can contact www.creda.co.uk.
