Expert Review
If your Buffalo knife steriliser won't start, or the timer just isn't completing its cycle, this is almost certainly the part you need. It's a common point of failure from wear and tear, but thankfully it's a doddle to replace. This single assembly gets the unit back up and running, ensuring your kitchen hygiene is never compromised.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the unit from the mains power first.
- Gently pull the old knob straight off the timer shaft.
- Unscrew the timer's mounting nut from behind the panel.
- After fitting, test the full cycle before reintroducing knives.
