I can't believe I have to ask this

Post by slinky » 28th Sep, '10, 17:18

So, the knob to turn on the oven and set the temperature has mysteriously disappeared. As I went to get something into the oven for dinner tonight I was greeted by the sight of a metal rod sticking out and no plastic knob to turn on and adjust temp. WTF?

Anyway, any thoughts on where I can buy a replacement knob? It's an Elba electric oven that just slides in under the cooktop.

"mysteriously disappeared"... Aliens? Cooking rats?

Try here. You'll need to know the model number of the oven.

That's as good a guess as any, Bender. No one here is admitting to anything [smilie=23_3.gif]

Thanks for the link, will check it out.

Have you checked the vacuum bag?

The knob is way too big to end up in the vacuum :lol: Pretty sure we didn't eat it last night either ;)

The aircon man was here cleaning all the aircon units and had his teenage-ish son helping out, but, really, it's too ridiculous to seriously consider that either of them would have taken it - I mean what in the world would they want it for?? I'm at a loss to figure it out.

Anyhow, thanks to Bender's link, I can likely get a replacement for about $8.50 -- assuming I can actually find the place that is :lol:
