Ceramic hobs are growing in popularity, one of the main advantages being how nice they look. Available in a huge variety of patterns and styles, their attractive surfaces are easy to clean and maintain. Sometimes however, a control knob can become damaged by a hot pan or roasting tin, which can spoil the overall look of the hob. However, it’s really easy to replace a damaged knob.

The Knowhow

  • Carefully remove the damaged knob by easing it off with your fingers. Make sure you don’t turn the gas on while you do this.
  • Clean the area behind the removed knob and the spindle it was on
  • Look at the back of the new knob and the connector it’ll sit on - you’ll see it can only be attached when both are lined up
  • Align the new controller to the off position; this should let you slide it on easily. Adjust the angle slightly until it properly connects. Make sure it’s securely on.

You can replace all the other controls in a similar way.

Multi-tasking? There’s nothing to it.
