Brown Stove/oven controls don't work
If your Brown range, stove, or oven controls are not working, a damaged or stripped knob is the most likely cause. The timer knob must grip and turn the timer stem, so replace it if it is cracked, loose, or spinning without engaging the control. Next, check the thermostat knob, which operates the temperature control, followed by the selector knob that switches between bake, broil, and other functions. A control knob may also be slipping on a switch or valve stem and preventing the setting from changing. These problems can make it seem like the oven controls are not working, the stove controls are not working, or the oven buttons are not working when the internal control itself is fine. If all knobs are intact and properly engaging their stems, a recent power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the range. Turn the power off for a few minutes, then restore it to perform a power reset. Enter your Brown range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact replacement timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob for your appliance.
