When your Caloric stove or oven controls are not working, a cracked or stripped control knob is the most likely cause. The timer knob must grip and turn the timer stem, while the thermostat knob must engage the thermostat stem. If either knob spins freely or slips without changing the setting, replace it. Next, check the selector knob, control knob, or another stove knob for the same problem. These knobs must properly engage the selector switch, switch, or valve stem to operate the range. If the knobs are intact and the oven controls or stove controls still do not work, a recent power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the range. Turn off power to the Caloric appliance for several minutes, then restore power and test it again. This simple power reset can restore normal operation. Inspect the knob and stem before replacing internal parts, since the timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, and control knob are the primary repair parts for this symptom. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Caloric range, stove, or oven.
