Description

Original ignition button, stainless steel look, for Miele stoves, Miele 8239191

The original Miele ignition knob 8239191 is an original replacement for KM and CS series hobs. The knob is made of high-quality ABS plastic with a stainless steel mirror finish, 38 mm in diameter, and replaces a broken, cracked, or worn knob. The replacement does not require tools - the knob is removed directly from the control rod and replaced in seconds. Only a genuine Miele product guarantees a perfect fit and the same turning feel as the original knob.

Has the knob fallen off? Cracked? Doesn't hold the flame position reliably? The ignition knob is one of the most common replacement parts on Miele hobs. – A part that is touched dozens of times a day.
Check your model before ordering:

✅ Just before ordering: This knob fits the KM2010-KM2030 and CS1011-CS1421 series. Older Miele hobs (KM360-KM391) use a different metal knob. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page for instant confirmation.

Why does the ignition switch break and what are the signs that it needs to be replaced?

The ignition switch absorbs heat, oil, and everyday wear and tear. Over time, the plastic loses flexibility, yellows, or cracks around the mounting axis. Common signs include a switch that spins freely and doesn’t “click” into place, a cracked switch that slips in your hand, a peeling finish, or a switch that falls out when you try to pull it out. All of these can be resolved immediately by simply replacing the switch, without a technician.

Why a genuine Miele part and not a replacement? A replacement knob may sit loosely on the switch shaft, making it difficult to adjust the flame intensity precisely. A genuine knob is manufactured to the exact dimensions of the switch shaft for each model. In our experience, replacement knobs wear out twice as fast due to wear on a shaft that does not fit exactly.

📋 Technical specifications

✅ Compatible models

Ensure exact match according to the E-Nr number on the sticker on the bottom of the stove:

CS Series (Combisets): CS1011, CS1011G, CS1011LP, CS1221, CS1421

KM series (cookers): KM2010, KM2011, KM2012, KM2013, KM2030

⚠️ Please note: This knob is plastic with a stainless steel mirror finish – not metal. For KM360 to KM391 series stoves, there is a separate metal knob (SKU 8225740). Check your series before ordering.

🔧 How do you replace the ignition button on a Miele stove?

The replacement is completely simple and takes less than a minute without tools. Simply pull the old button straight towards you – it will come off the switch shaft with hand pressure. Then push the new button onto the shaft until it clicks. Before assembly, check that the switch shaft is free of oil residues that could cause the button to slip.

✅ Pre-assembly tip: Turn off the stove and wait until the flames are completely cool. The hinge may be hot after cooking.

💡 Tip from the experts

Protect the knob – and save on it: In our experience, the number one cause of stovetop ignition knob breakage is improper cleaning. Cleaning with a wet sponge over the knob causes moisture to penetrate the shaft and accelerate plastic breakage. The right way: Wipe the knob with a dry rag only, and for a deep clean – remove the knob completely and clean the shaft and bottom of the knob separately. A knob that is cleaned properly will last many years.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ignition knob 8239191 suitable for both gas and electric stoves?

Yes. This knob is suitable for Miele hobs with rotary switches – both gas and electric hobs from the KM2010-KM2030 and CS1011-CS1421 series. It is important to make sure that your hob is actually from the same series and not an older series with a metal knob.

What is the difference between 8239191 and 8225740?

Both are 38mm diameter Miele ignition knobs, but 8239191 is plastic with a stainless steel mirror finish and fits KM2010-KM2030 and CS series. Knob 8225740 is real stainless steel metal and fits KM360-KM391 series. The hinges are different and are not interchangeable.

Is it possible to purchase just one ignition button or is a set required?

You can purchase a single knob. Since each burner on the stove operates on a separate switch with the same axis, you can replace just one knob as needed, and it is not necessary to replace all the knobs together.

The new button is loose – what do we do?

A loose knob usually indicates two factors: the knob does not fit the specific model (common when ordering by name and not by E-Nr), or the switch shaft itself is worn. Before ordering another knob – check the exact E-Nr number on the stove sticker and contact us for compatibility confirmation.
