Stuck Knob Solution here! Hello, I had the same problem and found the perfect solution online (for just $2.99): In order to fix this problem you just need a larger knob which provides the extra leverage needed to (effortlessly) turn the knob. The original knob should come off easily by wiggling and pulling at the same time. The knob is attached to a 1/4'' shaft so any lager knob that fits a 1/4'' shaft will do fine. I used one from radio shack (Model: 274-407), which was 1/4'' shaft and it also contained a micro screw that you can tighten to ensure a snug fit. This knob slightly covers the labels (ALT,VS IAS, etc) but because these values show up on the screen as you tune to them, it's no big deal for me. Btw, I attempted to contact Saitek for a solution and shocker! -No Response.

Parmco oven temperature knob stuck in how do I fix it please thx Tony

Hi Tony! If your Parmco oven temperature knob is stuck, you can try a few things to fix it. Here are some suggestions:
  1. Try applying some lubricant: You can try applying a small amount of WD-40 or silicone lubricant around the base of the knob. This might help loosen it up and make it easier to turn.
  2. Use pliers: If the knob is stuck, you can try using pliers to turn it. Wrap a cloth around the knob to protect it from scratches and then use the pliers to gently turn it. Be careful not to apply too much force or you might break the knob.
  3. Check for obstructions: Sometimes, the knob can get stuck because something is blocking it from turning. Check to see if anything inside the oven might be preventing the knob from turning.
  4. Call a professional: If none of the above solutions work, you might need to call a professional to come and take a look at your oven. They'll be able to diagnose the problem and fix it for you.
I hope these suggestions help you fix your Parmco oven temperature knob!

Knob stuck

if the knob is stuck remove it and spray the valve heavily with wd-40 while pressing the stem in and out and in and out and in and out and slightly wiggling to turn. If the inside is not broken this will remove the built-up dirt that does not allow the valve to turn. If this does not help then the inner lubricant has been over-heated and stuck in the ball-valve. it cannot be fixed, only replaced.

Whirlpool Ultimate Care II LSB200KQ1 Top Load Washer - the washer filled and then stopped. No humming, no sound, no action when we turn the knob. Thoughts?

The limit switch that detects that the lid is closed is probably defective. You've already probably experienced how the agitator would stop if the lid was opened when the machine was working properly--same thing.

Inspiration 4205 stitch length won't change

Are you certain that the pattern selector is set for straight stitch and not buttonhole?

Turn the handwheel so that the needle is up and the take-up lever is in it's highest position. Then turn the pattern selector knob through all of the patterns back and forth a few times. Finally, select straight stitch and see if the length works. If not, need to take it to a repair person to determine the course of action.

Water filter stuck on my Kenmore Fridge

I had the same problem. I coudn't get the knob to turn. I ended up taking the front grill off so I could get a better grip on the knob. Once I did that I still have to put a lot of pressure on the knob to turn it but that did the trick. When I got it turned a quarter turn then it was easy to pull the filter out. Hope this helps!
