I come home to find one of the stove knobs on the counter… wife says it fell off, and can’t get it back on. I realize after looking at the other knobs, the metal insert is missing so it won’t stay in place Metal clip in pic is what I am missing
. Searched the entire kitchen floor and can’t find it 🤷🏼♂️
any idea where I can find this insert? Other than buying a new knob? I can find a cheap one on Amazon that looks like the insert will match. Any other suggestions?
Check to see if the metal clip is still on the shaft. It may be the same length as the shaft and not look like a separate part. It expands slightly inside the knob and can prevent the knob from being pushed on separately. If it is there, pry it off, insert into the knob and push back on.
If it is missing, a good source for spare parts is your trash handling center or appliances set curbside for disposal/
Not on the shaft. Before I realized the insert was missing I swapped one of the other knobs to see if it was the knob or the shaft. Other knob fit fine and knob that fell off would not stay on the other shaft. I then realized there was a little metal insert. I may just fabricate some thing from a small piece of sheet metal or a paper clip.
I've always kept old knobs and just extract the bushing if I need one.
Places like lowes and the depot sell universal knobs kits with those bushings. D shaft bushings.
Bushing found!! It was clear across the kitchen under the wine rack. I’m suspecting the cats were swatting it around. Jeeesh. But I know where to get one if this happens again. Thanks!
Hello,
I would greatly appreciate if some one could explain to me what is going on with my refrigerator.
We have an old Kenmore refrigerator (two vertical doors, without electronic temperature control, just buttons from 1 to 5) in our garage. The garage is not insulated. The fridge is connected to a power outlet with an extension cord. Three prongs of course.
What happens is during winter time even if I put the refrigerator on its lowest temperature settings everything inside is over frozen. And it runs all the time I would say.
Summer time it is better but I still need to have it on its lowest settings.
Previously when we had it in the kitchen it was working just fine, somewhere in the middle.
I don't understand what is going on and how to return it to normal.
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
I just put new top on my LG WT5001C. The old one rusted out around the bleach dispenser after only 4 years. I bought a new bleach dispenser along with the top. Now the dispenser fills with water after a load of wash?? It never did before so I don't know why it would now. My wife tried running a load on the "bright white" setting to see if it would empty but it didn't. What did I do wrong?? Needless to say I'm in the dog house and need some help here.:help:
