You need to improve the knob with epoxy
I had the same problem. Although I get free knobs from my local appliance store, this was not satisfactory. Knobs should not break in less than a year of normal use. Frigidaire's design, manufacture and quality control of their knobs is obviously flawed. That replacement knobs are sold to their customers, which will break again, is simple corporate arrogance.
So, you can do what Frigidaire will not do, improve their knob - by filling the void around the knob stem with epoxy. When it cures you will have a solid trouble-free knob.
1. Gently pull a knob off a switch you do not use - e.g. the dryer signal off-on switch.
2. Buy a tube of epoxy for plastic. I prefer Loctite Plastic Epoxy, but probably any good epoxy will work.
3. Put the knob in a vise or have another means to keep it from moving and level.
4. Mix up enough epoxy to fill the interior void around the white stem, that has the black metal sleeve in it.
5. Be...
Show both sides.
I used the picture to match my dryer, Wrong thing to do these Knobs are too short and do not fit. Thought the price was great, only to find you they dont fit although they look exactly like the ones on my dryer. By not showing the inside of the knob, you think they are all alike , they need to show both the outside and inside, but then they wouldnt have gotten any money from me for something I cant use and the cost to return is more than I spent. Show both sides
work great
I was a little concerned that two of my knobs broke and fell off, and for a short while we were using pliers to turn the knobs. I got these replacements, and they work great, everything stays on securely and they're a perfect fit.
