Discontinued Appliance Knobs: OEM Part Numbers & Replacement Help

A broken control knob can sideline an otherwise usable appliance, but “discontinued” does not always mean “unavailable.” PartAgain organizes knob and timer-control research by exact OEM number and checks legitimate current supply before considering reproduction.

Check normal supply first


Availability can change. Some exact OEM numbers are truly no-longer-available, while others may still have genuine, aftermarket, or old-stock supply. Use the individual page for the current research state and buy a credible existing replacement when one is reasonably available.



Include the exact OEM part number and appliance model whenever possible.

Something small broke.
Don’t replace the whole thing.

Tell us what broke and what it came from. If it is a safe, practical candidate, PartAgain can evaluate recreating the hard-to-find part instead of replacing the entire assembly.

The weird little part nobody sells.

Clips. Stops. Latches. Supports. Handles. Adapters. The cheap little pieces that can make expensive objects useless.

Discontinued?Only sold with a giant assembly?Backordered forever?No longer available?That’s our territory.
How it works

Start with the problem.

You do not need CAD, a scanner, or engineering vocabulary. Give us enough to identify the machine and failure; we ask for photos or measurements only if the opportunity is real.

01 / IDENTIFY

Tell us what broke

Make, model, OEM number if known, and what the piece actually does.

02 / QUALIFY

We check the path

Safety, current availability, compatibility breadth, geometry, and economics.

03 / RECREATE

One fix becomes inventory

When a part validates, we preserve the geometry and compatibility data for the next repair.

Part request

What broke?

This takes about a minute. Give us the identity and failure; deeper capture comes later only if worthwhile.

PartAgain does not reproduce safety-critical components. We focus on functional pieces where failure is inconvenient—not dangerous.
No preorder. No CAD required. We only sell a compatible replacement after validation.
