A045851 Genuine Black Slide Knob SL26/29 for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Slide Control Knob, Indesit Whirlpool Group Spare

A045851 is a genuine Ariston slide knob in black. It's the small cap or handle you push along a slot to move a slide control, and Ariston's description carries the reference SL26/29. That reference may relate to the appliances it was made for, but our records don't confirm models, so compare the shape, colour and fixing with your old knob before you order A045851.

Why slide knobs break or go missing

A slide knob is pushed and pulled many times, often with greasy or wet fingers, and it relies on a small push fit or clip to stay on the switch stem. That fitting can split, wear loose or snap, leaving the knob wobbling, falling off or going missing altogether. Without the knob, the control is awkward to move and the bare stem can be damaged further. Heat and cleaning products can also crack or fade the plastic over time.

Fitting the slide knob

Switch the appliance off at the wall. Remove any broken pieces of the old knob from the switch stem, taking care not to bend it. Line the new knob up with the stem, check it's the right way round, then press it on firmly until it seats. Slide it through every position to make sure it moves freely and the control responds.
