Knobs for Kitchenaid cooktop
 

A Kitchenaid (Hobart) gas cooktop needs 4 replacement knobs but seems like
the originals are NLA. I'm sure all kinds of knobs would work but I'd like
to find the closest replacement or whatever the mfg recommends.

It's model KGCS1340, 4 burners (no griddle), knobs on top.

Last year, I needed a part for my Kenmore dishwasher, but I happened to be
driving by my favorite appliance store, so I stopped in. The parts guy
checked his computer and found the machine took the same part as two other
brands. Problem solved. Check your yellow pages for real appliance stores
which sell parts.

Like Reliable Parts: http://reliableparts.com. I use their local branch
and have always gotten good results from them.

I usually have pretty good luck with www.repairclinic.com
I tried your model number and only came up with some type of special
order seal kit.
But when I tried KitchenaidStoveKnob there were quite a few
hits. Maybe one of them is close to what you're looking for.

Sears sold KA cootops..have you tried them for "parts"?
They had a knob for a 10 YO Kenmore washer.

It's a hidden link. Find the pixel :-)

I found replacement control knobs (part number 305177-1) for the KitchenAid Gas Cooktop model KGCS-1340.
The replacement part number is 4163913.

I ordered and received 4 of the knobs from Universal Appliance Parts Inc. at a cost of $13.23 each plus $9.86 shipping. The parts appear to be exact replacements.
