the over temp safety switch has failed. It is replaceable but is a pain to change as they are usually attached with special high heat crimp terminals. there should have been a a warning light on the front that is supposed to warn you when the high temp switch has been activated.

Amazon has lots of these thermostats available from 3 to 5 dollars. This is the most common thermostatic switch failure for the Pelonis heater . Go to Amazon and type in KSD 301 in the search area. The temperature rating of the sensor is approximately 305 degrees
Is it the actual knob that is broken or the little tab the knob holds onto that is broken. You either need a replacement knob or a replacement switch assuming the know is also the thermostat for the unit. Does that same knob control the fan speed? Temprature or timer?
