Possible Causes
Failed knob motor, Jammed mechanism, Faulty position sensor, Loose connector to knob module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel or knob assemblies.
- Check for mechanical jam: Gently try to move the knob in and out (if safe). Do not force it. Remove the control panel fascia to inspect the mechanism for dirt or misalignment.
- Inspect motor and gears: Look for broken plastic gears or stripped teeth. Replace the knob motor module if damaged.
- Check wiring: Ensure the small connector from the knob motor/sensor to the control board is firmly seated.
- Replace knob module: If the motor does not run when commanded and wiring is intact, replace the complete Gorenje motorized knob assembly.
