Tappan Stove/oven controls don't work
When your Tappan stove or oven controls don't work, a cracked or stripped knob is the most likely cause. Start with the timer knob, which must grip and turn the timer stem to operate the control. Next, check the thermostat knob, selector knob, control knob, and any other stove knob for damage or a loose fit. If a knob turns without engaging its stem, replacing the knob should restore control. These parts are common causes of Tappan stove controls not working and oven controls not working, especially when the appliance has power but the settings will not change. If all knobs appear intact, a recent power surge or outage may have temporarily affected the range. Turn power to the Tappan range off for a few minutes, then restore it to perform a power reset. If the controls still do not respond, the related switch or valve may need further testing. Enter your model number to find the exact timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, control knob, or other replacement part made for your specific Tappan range, stove, or oven.
