How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: For gas models, turn off gas supply before removing knobs if you will access taps.

  • Inspect knobs: Pull off the knobs and check for cracks or rounded internal splines. Replace any damaged knobs.
  • Clean shafts: Wipe the exposed shafts with a dry cloth to remove grease and debris.
  • Lubricate taps (technician): If gas taps are stiff, a technician can disassemble and regrease them with approved gas valve grease. Do not use household lubricants.
  • Replace worn taps/switches: If shafts are bent or excessively worn, replace the gas tap or electric switch assembly.
