    Why are people breaking/losing knobs on their ranges in the first place? I’ve never done that in 4 decades. Seems like an extremely unlikely thing to do.

      I would have said the same thing but the enshitification isn’t just for the web anymore - I had a ‘quality’ name brand refrigerator and snapped the drawer down the front because I pulled on it a little too hard. Those things used to be bulletproof but now they’re flimsy crap.

        Yep happen to our fridge. Not mention it quit working after 2 years of use. Now buy mine off FB market place. Why bother buying new.

      I was thinking the same thing? Who are these animals that somehow destroy a metal knob on a commercial-style $8000 Bosch oven that is made of stainless steel?!

        My only guess is that they have children who steal the knobs and flush them down the toilet or something. But the knobs on those high end models are pretty huge which means they would probably get stuck and refuse to flush down.

          If I paid the obscene amount of money that those things cost I’d be mad as hell if the knobs were made of fucking plastic.

      Some guy once broke into my brother’s backyard and stole the lid to his BBQ. Just the lid.

      Ours is a cheap model, but the knobs are held on with a plastic housing inside the knob similar to that middle plastic tube that holds keycaps center on keyboards. Im constantly worried its going to break when i take them off to clean.
