THIS KNOB REPLACES THE 73094 & 73510 KNOBS. IT HAS A 6MM "D" SHAPED HOLE WITH A METAL INSERT INSIDE. THE FLAT IS ADJACENT TO THE MARKER ON THE KNOB.
NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS KNOB IS BUILT TO THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS AND WITH THE SAME TOOLING AS THE ORIGINAL OEM KNOB, THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW EARLY VERSIONS OF STOVE WHERE THE KNOB IS EXTREMELY TIGHT ON THE VALVE SHAFT. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VALVE SHAFT BEING OUT OF TOLERANCE. THERE IS NO OTHER DOCUMENTED VARIATION OF VALVE SHAFT SIZE. THE 73510 KNOBS ARE MANUFACTURED TO THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS, BUT APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY LOOSER. NOTE THAT THE 73510 KNOBS ARE EARLIER NOS OEM KNOBS, BUT WERE SUPERCEDED TO THE 80421 AS THEY ARE MORE PRONE TO HEAT DAMAGE. THE 80421 KNOBS ARE GLASS FIBER REINFORCED AND LESS LIKELY TO BE HEAT DAMAGED.
NOTE: THIS KNOB FITS MANY FORCE-10 RANGES WITH THE FLAT ON THE TOP WHEN OFF. SEE PHOTOS. 6MM SHAFT SIZE = 0.236 INCHES.
