Sandy:

Those knobs are absolute crap. 

I haven't seen nor do I own any that are NOT cracked. 

The best help you can give those is to wrap one of those screw-operated 
stainless steel hose clamps around it, tighten the clamp very securely and 
then fill the back of the knob (carefully) with some sort of plastic epoxy glue. 
Then let it harden. You may have to then tap out the hole for the setscrew.

Otherwise, toss them and get some Radio Shack knobs which have a brass 
insert.
