• Replaces a worn or faulty rotary control to restore smooth adjustment of temperature/speed or other user settings.
• Converts knob rotation into an electrical signal the control board reads.
• Commonly used when settings jump, respond intermittently, or the knob has no effect.
• Fits as the direct electrical control component—not the decorative knob.

• One potentiometer

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Access may require removing panels or the control console; handle wiring gently.
• Match the connector and shaft type before installation; secure mounting to avoid movement.

Symptoms of a bad indicator light lens include:

• The indicator light not being clearly visible
• Cracks or breaks in the lens
• Discoloration or cloudiness that diminishes the brightness of the light
• The lens becoming loose or falling off

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a bad Screw (Chrome) include:

• Loose or wobbly components that should be securely fastened.
• Difficulty in securing parts due to stripped or damaged screw threads.
• Visible corrosion or deterioration of the screw.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
