What shaft shape do the stovetop knobs expect? I have a D shaft with the fat part of the D pointing to off.

They expect a D shaft. I cannot tell you the direction the flat of the D faces because we have gotten a new stove since then. The knobs were a quick stop-gap for "something half broken but free at the time".

Don't know what it could be, but not an issue, at least for me, given the position of the knobs on my stove (mine are on the front, many inches away from the burners and the pots/pans/skillets being used). If necessary, it really is not too much trouble to remove the safety knobs while cooking and replace them once cooking is done.

Look carefully at the pin placement- how it plugs in to your stove and the wattage of the unit. Also the size of the opening for the replacement- seems to me the sizing was not correctly listed by the manufacturer.

The V side faces the front burner knobs. It faces in a backwards v shape and the straight side is to the back.

please check the backside of the knob. when shipping, the backplate is turned towards the knob.

I don't see why now as I purchased these to replace the poly-whatever knobs on my 6.7 & 3 quart Cuisinart enameled cast iron dutch ovens. Call Lodge & ask them.

I believe that are made to fit loosely and spin. If they were tight and were turned they would have the same effect as the handles on the stove and turn on the gas. I got them because in my small kitchen I often brushed against the knobs and accidently turned on the gas. Now if I brush against the stove the knobs just rotate without causing any problems..

I just measured it with a square. It bows up 1/8 inch in the middle even when cool. Then warps more as it is heated. I didn't find that to be a big problem however on my glass top stove. BTW, here is a trick. Most of my pots are flat bottomed and I do have a ceramic cooktop. I have some copper bottom pots that are not flat on the bottom which do not work well, but use a trick to get them to work faster. If you wet the bottom of the pan before you put it on the stove the water will turn to steam and efficently transfer heat from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the pan. The steam condenses on the bottom of the pan and then drips back to the cooktop surface to boil away again.

I just got mine and I'm wondering if I should return, my drive shaft appears slightly bent and when I grind with nothing inside it scrapes ceramic on ceramic at one section of the rotation. :(

My husband ground mine off, as it didn't fit on the configuration of my burners. He remembers they were about 3/4" tall. IF IT WORKS WITH YOUR STOVE, it should sit flat.

Yes, I had some problem with this. There is a solid steel, square rod that runs from the knob on one side, to the knob on the other side of the door. If it is a little too long, it will cause friction in the turning mechanism and lead to the problem you are seeing. I corrected this via trial and error with a bench grinder removing about a 1/16 of an inch each time from the length of the rod, you don't want it too short either!

Sounds like you need to adjust something, mine stays flat unless you turn the knob to rotisserie

The shaft of the one I bought is 5 mm, the d-shaft section (flattened part) is 4.5 mm. Hope this helps.

Mine came with a T-knob. It seems the picture has changed since I ordered them. That knob almost looks non-functional the way it is now.

I don't have a glass stovetop but I do notice that there is a tiny bulge in the center. My eggs tend to run towards the corners.

You need the model number to the stove to find that out.I't located at the bottom part of the stove behind the pan drawer on the frame

The original knob for the lower oven was broken upon arrival. (cracked through the middle), the replacement knob is keyed correctly but will not fit all the way in on the shaft so it stands further away from the stove. I have no other substitute.
