GE gas range knobs pull straight off the valve stems without tools. Removing them when not cooking eliminates the risk of accidental activation. Replace the knobs when you need to cook. This is a safe temporary measure while waiting for the recall replacement knobs.</p> <h3>How are the new recall replacement knobs different?</h3> <p>The replacement knobs have a push-to-turn mechanism that requires pressing the knob inward before it can be rotated to a burner position. This prevents accidental activation from being bumped or snagged. The push-to-turn design is standard on most modern gas ranges and requires intentional two-motion engagement.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Worried about your oven/range?
