Return it. It sounds broken and you don't want to risk electrocuting your fish etc. This is a great product - I love it and believe me I have had many others in the past- Return it as damaged.

I would send it back and ask for a replacement. "Guessing" the right position could seriously harm your fish.

There is a little insert on the knob, u have to push it in, while pushing the knob. It is hard. I installed 4 of them

You need to line up the hole in the knob with the prong sticking out on the stem while depressing the prong and using quite a bit of force to push the knob on.

It is finding the right position on the on the knob and latch part . It took me a few tries but I got it. We are very happy with it. Not sure but maybe there might be a youtube video on them or a similar one that you can watch....Donna

It took me a while to figure that out because you have to push it in to lock it and pull it out to unlock it The reason it took a bit was I thought I had it in place but didn't. I had to rock it back and forth slightly while pushing in before I found the correct position to lock it by pushing in. In regard to the tension knob, that took a little effort because it wouldn't allow me to adjust it either at first because it was tight by default from the factory. Because it's plastic, it's going to move if enough pressure is applied. Why it's so tight from the factory I can only guess is because it's assembled by machine. Until you can get it to rock, you may not be able to lock it in place.

Push in the little plastic piece on the side with a screwdriver or butter knife. .its gonna be semi hard to get off..then put in one end of the new one and pop it in like youd do a roll of toliet paper..theres a square plastic piece that holds the knob on the brush, all you have to do is pull it apart

Hello all--Priya did you try the method from SirBrad shown belowand QUOTED HERE I had the same problem. What you need to do is, stand the machine upside down. Now step on the bar nearest you that comes out after you stand it up, the other bar is in the front. The knob should be right in front of your face. Pull the knob out with your right hand, and push HARD upwards on the bottom bar. Mine is very tight, but loosens up after about the first 6 inches.END QUOTEThat method worked perfectly for me--- good luck----

loosen knob on the shaft and spread the three legs out and then re tighten the knob.

Give it a little tug that should set it in place. Any way that works for me.

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

The knob definitely does come off. Once in the off position, you push in on the knob, and continue to turn another 25 degrees counter-clockwise. It's kind of like a key, though I would imagine with some ingenuity one could get past that. You know, by just bashing the switch apart with a hammer and removing it altogether, lol.

Mine did the same thing. I took it apart and lubricated the mechanism inside with a little bit of 3 in 1 oil. The lubrication helped a lot, and I am able to use it again. It would have been nice if the design of this switch would not have made it so difficult to turn the knob though.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

The black knob comes off. Do not twist or turn - lift straight up. It pops off to reveal the nut that you loosen for chain adjustment. Where the chain goes in the body at the bottom is a screw. Loosen or tighten the screw to adjust chain tension. Then re-tighten the nut to hold the tension. Put the black knob back over the nut. You're ready to go!

There should be a hex wrench with the doorknob, if not it is a standard size. You use it to loosend the handle and either rotate it 180 degrees or switch sides depending on your knob.

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...

It is just the knob itself... which you would replace by first pulling off the old knob (requires some strength), and then pushing on the new one.
