Brilio.net - A stove is a cooking utensil used in daily cooking activities. Based on the power source used, there are two types of stoves, namely electric stoves and gas stoves. The basic difference between the two types of stoves lies in the power source used to operate them.
Operating an electric stove requires a special electrical connection with 220 volts, while a gas stove only requires a connection to a gas cylinder. Gas stoves are available in several variations ranging from one burner to four burners, some even equipped with an oven. The use of a gas stove is considered more practical and economical than an electric stove.
Although practical in its use, gas stoves have several problems that often occur such as gas line leaks, unstable flames, or stuck stove knobs. Problems with the stove knob that cannot be turned will interfere with the overall function of the stove. This is because the stove knob plays an important role as a regulator of the flame on a gas stove.
Repairing a problematic gas stove knob can be done independently without having to visit a repairman. One of the gas stove knob repair tutorials can be found on Mr. Lempah's YouTube channel. The video shows the steps to repair a gas stove knob from the beginning until the knob can function properly again.
"Easy way to fix a gas stove knob or dial that is badly stuck or won't turn at all," he wrote.

Quoted from BrilioFood from YouTube mr lempeng on Friday (11/29), first remove the knob by pulling it. Then open the bolts using a screwdriver. The bolts are on the right and left sides of the knob. Don't forget to also open the bolts on the bottom of the stove that connects the knob to the gas line.

If the bolts are removed, then you can easily remove the output case with the knob. Then take the knob and check its condition. Usually one of the factors that causes the knob to jam is because of dirt that has crusted on the rubber inside. Therefore, you can clean it by spraying the rubber with water.

When it is clean, reinstall the rubber. However, if the knob is still stuck, you can lubricate it using oil or other lubricants. Then turn it while applying a little pressure to the knob, you can use pliers so that it can rotate. If the knob rotates, reassemble and reassemble the parts of the stove that were opened earlier.
That way, you can immediately use the gas stove as usual. If you experience the same problem, immediately practice this method at home, okay?
