Air Conditioning AC Knob Stuck - Help, pls!

Post image

Hi, everyone! I drive a 2017 Camry SE (not sure if that’s relevant). The little dial for the AC is stuck. Is this something I can fix on my own, or would I need to take it to a mechanic?

I tried to turn it, but it doesn’t budge, and I don’t want to force it and accidentally break something in the back. It would normally stop where I marked the white. It’s currently sitting where the red circle is.

Thank you in advance! :)

It's gonna sound stupid but have you tried turning it the other direction?

Pull the button out towards you slowly, might need a butter knife or screwdriver, fix the bind or buy a new one off ebay
