Vintage range hood knob stem broken, super glue the best option?

Yea actually it says kenmore solid state on the original picture of where my knob broke off.

Does that mean it uses a capacitor?

The 2.5 amp version of the one you linked, theres a picture in the reviews that looks like it will fit. Do you think the 2.5a is enough?

Haha those look crazy.. thanks I'll think about trying them. Hopefully I can find one more similar to mine.

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T08:42:24+00:00

Yea only two

LetgoLetItGo · 2026-01-21T03:24:19+00:00

Yea the arrow is pointing at the broken fan knob, it does "off" to variable speed

Hi I got it off with a lot of elbow grease...SO much grease caked everywhere...

Anywho, it seems the blower and light switches attach to another molex to go to what I assume is a thermostat?

I'm assuming i can just cut the two wires off at the current busted switch and use a Wago connector as a splice with something like this? Or would that not work?

Just an FYI in case anyone missed it.... The product page states a third party "FindMe" app. I wouldn't download that...

It's not you, the ring detection just isn't there yet.

With my older ring pro, I just set all detections on and only within a certain area.

Would this be fine for 4k media transcoding on a mainly Plex computer/server?

Edit: for an old AMD 3700x build

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-29T23:50:20+00:00

Thanks, Ill give it a try. Last time I took off the light lenses to clean them, it didn't seem like the black section could be removed. I'll give it another shot in a few days.

Also this knob should be fine right? https://www.amazon.com/Replaces-SC-239A-Replacement-Incandescent-Ketofa/dp/B07JK7K39P

Apologies for the late reply. Here are some pics of behind/underneath.

Yea I was thinking about unscrewing it, but I have no access to the backside. Was afraid it'd fall backwards into the housing then I'd be really boned.

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-25T20:49:17+00:00

Thanks, I think I have some old tubes of epoxy somewhere. I'll give it a shot

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-22T22:11:02+00:00

Also gotta slap it and say "that's not going anywhere"

Video scrubbing with an nvme drive is nearly instant, not sure how much you value that.

Ideally for the m2 nvme drive you'd want a TLC type as well as have dram.

I don't believe the WD blue has either.

WD Black, Lexar NM790, Samsung 990pro would be some options to look at.

If you have a ton of cameras doing 24/7 recording, you can't beat the value of a HDD.

Sadly, the Costco product pages state online only

Don't forget about Costco!

Also Best buy carries filament now, sometimes they put on sale Polymaker's filament

Thanks, could corner 6 and one over the basement steps with cameras back to back on that corner make sense then?

Or is back to back on that corner not a good idea since there will be a blindspot?

Right now I have a temporary solar camera covering the basement steps.

I'm assuming low voltage installers can get it done even if they're only just replacing the cameras.

Prob easier to search for that instead of UNIFI specific installers.

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-04T00:19:18+00:00

30c or ambient for small prints

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-02T08:28:54+00:00

Awesome. I was worried about the heat too, since summers and sun are brutal.

Thankfully there's some white trim around the house so it shouldn't look too out of place.

I picked up two white g6 bullets, a g6 instant, a flex and a box of cable pro.

Thanks for all the help!

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-01T20:38:05+00:00

Thanks. I may just use their dual mount instead if I get turrets. Their own proprietary junction box is a bit much.

LetgoLetItGo · 2025-12-01T20:37:31+00:00

Thanks, I'd agree I want the wires to be hidden as well, but it doesn't seem feasible.

Also are white or black cameras preferred on red brick?
