    China mastered copying things well. A five pack of replacement knobs that actually match is $34 on Amazon. A crappy homemade knob for a $4000+ range is crazy.

      China has also mastered modern slave labor. That someone makes thier own replacement instead of ordering some small uncomplicated part from across the globe isn’t crazy, it’s self-reliant and smart.

      But that’s, like, just my opinion man.

      And Bosch makes and generally stands by their good products. Yeah they’re a company, but they’re not the worst!

      Also, where did original knob go, I need to know.
