If your Americana 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, while the thermostat knob must engage the thermostat stem to adjust oven temperature. A cracked knob that spins freely will not operate the control. Next, check the selector knob, control knob, or another stove knob connected to a switch or gas valve stem. Replacing the damaged knob may restore operation without replacing the switch or valve. If several controls stopped responding after a power outage or surge, disconnect power to the range for a few minutes, then restore power to perform a reset. This can correct a temporary control problem, but persistent stove controls not working or oven controls not working may require further testing of the control components and wiring. Before ordering an Americana range, stove, or oven part, enter your model number to find the exact replacement knob for your appliance.
