Creda Electric Oven Knob broken

mentat_2

Hi all, I have a Creda fan oven and pushed the oven dial so that it would eject and I could turn it to the desired setting. Unfortunately, the dial got a bit excited and popped out! So, I am left with the long dial with attached plastic part, a very small curved piece of metal and the hole where all this should go.

I'm pretty sure nothing has broken or got lost, it's just the parts have 'popped out'.

So, I need to know is...
...is it something I can do myself?
...can I get the front off the oven to check nothing is missing?
...how do I do it?

I've checked the manual and it doesn't go into this level of detail. I'm afraid I don't have the model number for the oven on me at the moment.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

BTW the oven is a Creda Cachet 48148.

I have emailed Creda for assistance, so will wait and see...

hubby says: unfortunately the knob is broken and not repairable. nothing has dropped inside the cooker just simply needs a new control knob. Approx cost £10-15. google search for creda parts and put in model number. Very easy to DIY- when you have got the new knob firmly push it into place, it is spring loaded- hey presto!!!;)

Thanks for the advice however....

I found that the small metal clip fits inside the back of the knob, you carefully replace it with a little force and clicks back into place.

Oven now working again and no cold turkey for Christmas, hurrah!
