RANGE KLEEN 8114 Electric Range Knobs (4-pk, Black)



Better than most
I have a GE glass cook-top that is used daily. The problem is that I am constantly having to replace the knobs because the letters and numbers wash off after about 3 months. I decided to pay more and perhaps get a better quality knob. So far so good--these look like they might last longer and they also look sturdier than the ones I purchased in the past.

Good product with one flaw.
I used these to replace the knobs on my stove because the printed numbers were rubbing off the stove surface. I wanted numbers that would not rub off with wear and these are stamped or etched onto the metal plates on the knobs.

But...
The colored inserts fit my stove control standoffs but they allowed the standoff to go all the way through. This meant that when i pushed down on the knob to turn it, the knob just slid down the standoff without pressing it in. I put some thick epoxy on the tops of each insert to create a 'stop' for the standoffs so they would work properly.

Decent I suppose
It said they would fit my range, as I checked it out before I bought. Yet when I received them, they didn't even come close to fitting. So DOUBLE CHECK your make and model. They were decent knobs, but we couldn't use them and not worth spending the $ to ship them back.
