Five year old Lamona electric oven

One of the control knobs has split along the shaft so won't turn the
control.

I ordered a replacement and it turns out to be one digit higher part
number because the old one is obsolete.
It isn't a tight fit and so although it turns the control the mark on
the side of the knob goes just past where it should be (in whichever
direction it is travelling).

So ideally I would like to do something which will make the fit a
little more snug without damaging the new knob or preventing me
removing it later.

Apart from cling film over the shaft, any other suggestions?

Cheers

What sort of shaft? Is it cylindrical with a flat and the knob has a
D-shaped socket? If so you could just insert a shim of some sort on the
flat part.

Yes, round profile with a flat.

Hmmm...if the fit is loose all round I'm trying to visualise what would
happen long term.
The contact between the knob and the shaft would be the flat and the top
of the cylinder.
Not sure if that would give enough play for it to slowly deform.
Will give it further thought.

Thanks
