Un screw the philips head screw and check the electrical contacts in the knob. Be careful when you pull the knob though, there is a little black wire that s needed to make the contact. You might find that the contacts are corroded. To fix this, use a stiff pencil eraser to clean the green stuff off of the contacts.
