You will be amazed at what the Triflow can do. Oil it - jiggle the knob if you can - wait - do it over the next day - if necessary oil it again and use a little heat if you can. Get the oil into all the moving areas as possible. If someone used 3-in1 oil it will take some doing to get it freed up - that stuff is really gooey when it dries. I messed with an old Kenmore today that had some think like that holding up the works - it did not free up today. I'll check it when I get back to the shop on Friday I hope. If it doesn't free up by then I'll probably drop a few more drops on it and jiggle some more - jiggling helps the oil to work its way in. Heat can help hurry it along. Be careful of any plastic parts with heat and any chemicals.
