Hi Guys

On my visit to the daughter's flat in Edinburgh she was
complaining that the control job on the electric oven was getting
hot.
I think this was
when the device was set to grill mode but not sure.
The nob reached a temperature that required a cloth to operate.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks

Phil


Just the one knob or all of them?

All the knobs:-
Many grill in the top of the oven have a deflector plate that you have
to pull out when grilling, most that don't require you to close the
door. Having the door open and no deflector lets lots of heat get to the
knobs.


One knob:-
Its probably faulty and needs replacing.
