The Power Burner Knob Will Not Turn. The Stem Is Stuck And Will Not Move.

The power burner knob just stopped working. Turned it off and a few minutes later tried to re-ignite and it is stuck. Removed the knob to check and the shaft will not turn. I even tried to gently turn it with a pliers but it will not move. It will still push in slightly like normal, but will not turn to the ignite or "on" position.
