A cooker control knob no longer selects normally

A loose outer knob, a stiff control and a display that ignores a selection are different faults. The printed control function is more useful than its colour or position alone.

Describe the resistance

Say whether the knob turns freely, will not turn or moves but changes nothing. Include any cleaning or removal immediately before the change without assuming that caused it.

Avoid parts by appearance

Similar knobs can have different fittings and functions. A complete model and clear photograph can prevent an unsuitable part enquiry. Do not force a control or use a tool to turn its exposed shaft.
