When our lid broke (the plastic knob part broke from the rest of the plastic lid when my wife dropped it), I was able to glue it back on using Devcon "Weld it" adhesive. (Available at any hardware). So far it's held for over six years of regular use.
Otherwise you can always find use a glass replacement lid from Rival. I seen them going for $12 on Ebay (which included shipping). Look for 10-3/8" diameter, 5 quart.
If you know a woodworker, get him to turn a knob out of oak, then fasten it with a stainless steel screw and washer. I suggest threading the screw into the knob once before installing it onto the lid so you don't risk overtightening the screw and breaking the lid.
ince replacing the lid and knob will cost several dollars plus postage I recommend purchasing a new one. That way you have new electronics and a warranty which will assure that you have a cooker for at least a year.
For what it's worth, when the handle on my mother-in-law's crockpot broke, I went to Home Depot and bought a cheap wooden drawer knob (about $1 as I recall). I put a plastic washer between the knob and the glass and another under the screw head from the bottom (to prevent cracking the lid), tightened the screw and good as new.
Contact manufactuer for a replacement handle. You should find the toll free number (or) website in the users manual. If you no longer have the manual type in www."the manufactuer".com
Your crock pot may still be under warranty (or) they may even send you the handle free of charge, who knows
I have had the same problem. Spoke to rival customer service and they no longer sell replacement lids for model number SCE502. I've read to take the screw from the knob to a hardware store and then find a knob which will fit it.
Someone else suggested that if the knob is mostly intact, ask hardware store for araldite glue
