Control knobs on Haier range are loose, cracked, or difficult to turn

Safety first: Turn all controls to OFF and ensure burners are cool.

• Remove knobs: Pull the knobs straight off the shafts. Do not twist excessively.
• Clean shafts: Wipe the valve stems with a degreaser and dry thoroughly to remove sticky buildup.
• Inspect knobs: Check for cracks or worn splines inside the knobs. Replace with Haier OEM knobs if damaged.
• Check valve shafts: If a shaft is bent or difficult to turn even without the knob, the gas valve or switch may need replacement by a technician.

Do not use pliers on valve shafts; this can damage the valve and cause gas leaks.
