Product review (4 stars): How I made these knobs fit my stove
These knobs are quite good looking. I give them four stars because the holes are too big for my Hotpoint gas stove, and I don't think they'd have fit my previous stove either. And the way the hole goes, they'd be upside down if they did fit. I anticipated this, though, especially since my present stove has rather small things that the knobs go on and also needs the knobs pushed in before turning. (Guess how one knob got broken?) When looking for knobs, I just looked for some that were a good price and looked good. I've wanted to play around with Sugru since hearing of it and thought this would be an excellent excuse to experiment with it. I ordered some at the same time I ordered the knobs. What I did was fill in the knobs with Sugru (it took two packs of the Sugru that comes in three little packs), then put them on the stove so they'd be right way up and have room to push in before turning. I experimented with doing that until I knew what fit I needed, then put a light coating of oil on the knob spike of the stove before fitting the knobs for the final time (so I could remove the knobs for drying, and in case I needed to take them off later for any reason). Then I put the knobs away to dry for 24 hours. I had a perfectly fitting set of knobs that looked like they had come with the stove. I would advise doing this rather than getting those knobs that come with different sized inserts, because in my experience those never fit right and keep coming loose.
