Compatibility & Fitment

This control knob is a standard replacement for many gas ranges and cooktops manufactured by Frigidaire. Key compatible brands include:

• Frigidaire: Fits a wide range of freestanding and slide-in gas ranges, including the Gallery and Professional series.
• Kenmore / Sears: Compatible with many 790-prefix and 253-prefix gas range models.
• Tappan & Crosley: Direct fit for various economy and mid-tier gas stoves utilizing the 316220009 part standard.
• Note: This knob is for the Surface Burners only. It is not intended for use as an oven thermostat or timer knob, which often have different stem orientations or diameters.

When to Replace

• Stripped Internal Stem: The knob spins freely without turning the actual gas valve, making it impossible to light or adjust the burner.
• Cracked Mounting Port: Visible stress fractures on the plastic D-ring on the back of the knob, which can cause the knob to fall off or feel "mushy" during use.
• Melted or Warped Housing: Heat from a large pot or an oven door left ajar has deformed the plastic, affecting the aesthetic or preventing the knob from turning fully to the "Off" position.
• Faded Graphics: The temperature and safety markings have worn off due to frequent cleaning, creating a safety hazard by making it difficult to tell if the gas is fully off.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure all burners are turned to the "Off" position before beginning. For maximum safety, you can unplug the range to prevent the electronic igniters from clicking while you work.
• Straight Pull Removal: PRO TIP: Pull the old knob straight toward you. If it is stuck, you can slide a piece of string or a thin cloth behind the knob and pull both ends together to provide even pressure without scratching the control panel.
• Check the Stem Orientation: Before pressing the new knob on, look at the "D" shape of the valve stem. Align the flat side of the knob’s internal port with the flat side of the metal stem to avoid cracking the new part.
• Cleaning the Valve: While the knob is off, wipe down the metal valve stem and the control panel surface with a degreaser. Built-up grease can cause the new knob to stick or become hard to turn.
• Firm Pressure: Push the new knob firmly onto the stem until it sits flush with the other knobs on the panel. Test the "Lite" and "Off" positions to ensure it rotates smoothly through the full range.
