The stock description gives two sizes, 55mm and 6.5mm, which most likely mean a 55mm knob for a 6.5mm shaft. Without a model list to go on, measure your old knob and the control shaft before ordering 4055930244.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy phenolic knobs are used on hot controls\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdinary plastics soften and distort when they sit near burners, so phenolic resin is used where a knob has to stay rigid and comfortable to touch. Even so, years of heat and cleaning can leave a phenolic knob brittle. The usual failures are a cracked skirt, a split around the shaft hole that lets the knob spin, or a broken insert that no longer grips. A knob that slips is more than a nuisance on a gas appliance, because you can't be sure the control is fully off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055930244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhenolic heat-resistant material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55mm size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5mm fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhenolic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the knob\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure the appliance is off and the control area is cool. Pull the old knob straight off and check the shaft shape, whether round, D-shaped or with a flat. Push the new knob on so it seats fully and lines up with the off marking. Turn it through its full range to confirm it grips. If a gas control feels stiff or won't return to off, stop and call a licensed gas fitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I measure my old knob?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure straight across the widest part of the knob face for the diameter, then measure the shaft it fits onto.
