Anyone had issues with the control knob sticking or going out of whack on these? I've read of this on some similar units.

Yes. I can only get mine to run on the high setting. Not sure what the BTU output is ? It starts out wide open then tapers off maybe to the low setting ?It will not function in any other setting. Thinking about tossing it before something bad happens.I also had to move the safety shutoff probe closer to the heat grid to get it to work at all.

The knobs are a little hard to turn at first. They will loosen up with use. Just give them a hard twist. That should work.

I haven't had any problem with mine. I would suggest contacting Worx rather than Amazon. They are the ones that made and marketed them. I think it has been discontinued but they can probably help.

I read somewhere that the cause for this is the glue used on the switch gumming up the knob. My fix is this: (1.) remove the plastic knob (2.) heat up the metal post on which the knob fits on with a lighter to melt off the glue (3.) use a drop of mineral oil or contact cleaner to lubricate the knob. This worked fine for me on a Saitek switch panel.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

I have had no problems at all with mine. Send back and ask to just exchange the ones not working. Good luck!

Haven't had any problems, very satisfied....are you losing power or just unable to use? There is a control lock button on the unit controls that locks all functions, comes in handy when cleaning the control panel, stops the burners from coming on with buttons are pushed........

I put electrical tape over them. They are extremely bright, and without taking the unit apart and actually modifying the electronics, I see no other way. The manufacturer should make an option for turning them off, or dimming them, but for now, a strip of black electrical tape over them works for me. It might not work well for anyone that wants to adjust the EQ more than once without having to remove the tape each time. I tried a permanent marker, but I couldn't get it into the small area well enough, and it was useless. I would imagine a small bit of paint would take care of the issue, and I will likely end up doing that.

It's probably either a broken piece of the cross-over or the built in amplifier. There should be no internal movement of any type what so ever!I recommend you ship them back for replacement and or repair. Sincerely, Steven Level

I have not used them to extensively but the three or four times I have, there was not even a hint of them sticking to the equipment. I do not think it is something to worry about. This is the first time I have heard of such a thing.JC

Sorry. I did not have this problem. I just had 2 of 3 sets go out in less than a week. I swapped over to a different brand and have had no issues.

Mine work wonderful! I use them all the time. No clicking, maybe it's interference from something else.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

I also am unable to move the clamp lever on my Hitachi C10FCE2. Also, Mr Hernandez, there is no black knob on the back of mine. Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it? (I'm hesitant to apply excessive force on the lever.)

Hello, Mine is off on zero and highest on 5... and that is correct. doesn't sound like your knob was put on properly, the arrows line up.... hope this helps...

Mine are very weird too. If you just rotate them a half inch sometimes they'll turn on. I think they're just sensitive... One of their drawbacks

I give up! That sucker is never coming out. I tried everything. I guess I will just buy the housing unit again since it appears from these posts that some people are not having this problem. So, I can only assume that those of us having the problem got faulty units. :(
