    But what the hell happened to the other knob? I’ve done a lot of stupid shit around the stove but I can’t imagine what could happen to it.

      From experience, we tend to use the same two burners, and one particular one, the most, by far. (Front left for us) After 15 years, the plastic on the underside of the original knob got worn and loose and almost broke. We rotated the burner knobs. The oven knob is doing the same thing, but it’ll need to be replaced or repaired. Like someone else said, they aren’t usually all metal construction, there’s plastic on the inside.
