Knob assembly

A knob assembly for an appliance, comprising:

• a first housing including a sidewall and a retention member extending from the sidewall, the retention member including a first leg and a second leg, wherein a base of the first housing defines a central opening through which an electromechanical switch extends, and wherein the base defines a channel directly below the retention member;
• and
• an operable second housing operably coupled with the first housing and including a selective stopper, the operable second housing being axially operable between a compressed position and an extended position relative the first housing, and wherein the selective stopper is disposed between the first leg and the second leg to define a locked position, wherein the second leg defines an angled portion, and wherein the angled portion is an indicator configured to provide tactile feedback.

A knob assembly, comprising:

• a first housing including a sidewall extending from a base and defining a cavity, the first housing also including a retention member extending from the sidewall;
• and
• an operable second housing disposed within the cavity of the first housing and defining a gap between a base edge and the base of the first housing, the operable second housing including a selective stopper selectively movable between a first position and a second position relative to the retention member, wherein the retention member defines a guide slot having a first groove and a second groove, and wherein the selective stopper is retained by the first groove of the guide slot in the first position.
