I purchase this for a 5 year old kit it is very difficult to turn the knob I don't know if this is a defect or if they are all like that?

I purchased two of these and one arrived defective and the other was hard to open. Would not recommend these.

Yes, this was for my 8 year old and it seems it's just poorly made. The combination lock doesn't work well either.
1883686
Yeah, theyre very self jammable. I just broke mine to frequently use. I just throw my change in from whenever i spend, so when im absolutley broke, i can get a pack of last resort cigs. I just pull it apart. The combos dont really work, nor are they necessary to get inside. This is in mo way a safe safe.

I would say it's a defect, my 5 year old Grandson has no problem with it at all.

I have the range finder version and mine is tight to turn as well . So yea I am guessing it is normal.

Yes, I had some problem with this. There is a solid steel, square rod that runs from the knob on one side, to the knob on the other side of the door. If it is a little too long, it will cause friction in the turning mechanism and lead to the problem you are seeing. I corrected this via trial and error with a bench grinder removing about a 1/16 of an inch each time from the length of the rod, you don't want it too short either!

Did you turn the knob to on , if not do so . And if you have turn the knob both ways and still nothing then something is wrong. Remember turn knob all the way.

There are small screws on each handle base. Try to tighten them. The unit is under warranty and company will cover any defects if this doesn't work.

Same problem here I had a knob crack. The knobs on these units are all plastic with no metal socket in the middle. Better quality knobs have a metal (usually brass) socket and a metal set screw. I bought a set of 4 on eBay. Search for KNOB ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT SENCORE EICO B&K; HICKOK MERCURY TUBE TESTER LOT OF 4. The better knobs are inexpensive so not sure why the box manufacturer doesn't use them.

Need more information to answer the question. Are you trying to order a new knob or trying to attach a new knob?

Mine came to me fine. My 5 yr old nephew has transformed it, and it was as it hould be. You may have just gotten a defective one. Contact the seller to see if they can help you with this matter.

no i do not have any problem so far. I am not sure why knob is not turning to right side where there is sign of cleaning.

Replacing the bulb may solve the problem however it really sounds like the problem is in the adjusting knob itself. Based on the price you are better off just purchasing a new one or removing the knob and turning the the metal piece by hand.

It sounds silly, but did you make sure the knob was turned all the way from "tools" to "floor cleaning"? Maybe the knob just needs to be moved back and forth to make sure it is all the way to flor. I have found that it is really important to clean it thoroughly after using so the old dirt doesn't clogg It up. I still love mine.

Yes, mine is the same way but its not a problem for me. I just turn it around gently and presto.....problem solved. Its works great so such a small problem is not worth time and energy.

How much is "a lot "? My V-line is brand new, and the knob is also what could be called loose. Having bought one before tho, I know it to be normal. The knob should wiggle, but not rotate until you punch in your code.

The knob on the cabinet has a feature which allows it to turn if someone attempts to force it open. That prevents the handle from breaking off. Gently turn the handle as far as possible in the counter-clockwise direction. When it reaches the end of its range you should feel and hear a slight "click". It should re-engage and work normally after that.

If you are referring to the tuning knob, mine is still good. Sorry thatI could not help!

Is there a knob at the bottom in the front that you turn ? I have had mine 2 yrs and do not have that problem

I would return it for a new one, but first I would check the switches behind the ears, one of them might be stuck in the down position.
