This is how the knee lever on my Kenmore is attached. [ATTACH=CONFIG]452498[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]452499[/ATTACH] Two brackets are attached to the box - one to the side and one on the bottom. I never noticed before, but it looks like I can adjust the knee lever to the left or right. I just may try that.
I did have to replace the cord going to the wall, and have not yet "stapled" the wire along the sides.
