The Top Burner Control Knob is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is used to adjust the flame level of the top burners on your stove, ensuring precise control over cooking temperatures.

Causes of a bad burner control knob can include repeated use, which may wear down the internal mechanisms, accidental impact that can crack or break the knob, or exposure to high temperatures that can warp or damage the material.

Symptoms of a bad burner control knob include:

• Difficulty turning the knob
• The knob not staying in place
• Inaccurate control over burner flame levels
• A loose or wobbly knob

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

This selector switch escutcheon is the black trim plate that fits around the control knob on the console. It restores a clean, finished look and proper alignment around the switch when the original bezel is cracked, missing, or faded.

• Finishes the opening around the selector switch and protects the panel edges
• Helps the control area look clean and aligned with the knob
• Replace when the bezel is cracked, warped, missing, or discolored
• Cosmetic component; the switch itself may be faulty

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the control knob straight off the switch shaft
• Release tabs or remove screws (as applicable), lift off the old escutcheon, and align/install the new one
• Reinstall the knob and restore power; verify smooth knob movement
