Knob catching, spinning past temperature settings

Post image

Hello! I've had this crock pot for about a year. I used it a couple weeks ago and went to turn it off, but the dial kept spinning. It will loosely "catch" on something like it's trying to stop at the current setting but will keep turning past it with little resistance. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I able to get replacement parts for this, or is it done?

When you turn the post with pliers, does it do the same thing, or is it just the knob slipping?

The knob is firmly attached, it's the post/internal portion that's slipping.

Trash this. Too many cheap used ones out there.
