Color: Grey/Chrome - This is a control knob that is used on many stoves, ranges, and ovens. The control knob is the component that controls the heating elements. The control knob is used to turn the elements from off to on and back. They also control the temperature settings. Regular use can start to strip the inside of the knobs so they do not fit properly over the shaft. When this occurs, the heating elements cannot be controlled. The control knob will need to be replaced to safely use the stove or oven. When replacing the control knob, the stove should be powered off and cool to the touch. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the original knob off of the range so the control shafts can be seen. Use a degreaser to clean the control panel and shafts before placing the new control knob. Make sure the appliance is powered on before use. This control knob is sold as an individual product. It is an authentic OEM replacement component that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The knob is made to be used with ranges, stoves, and ovens manufactured by Whirlpool.

The Knob (stl) is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and ovens. This stainless steel knob is designed for controlling the temperature and settings of your cooking appliance.

Symptoms of a bad Knob include:

• Difficulty in turning or adjusting the settings.
• The knob slipping or failing to engage with the control mechanism.
• Visible wear or damage such as cracks or fading.
• The knob coming loose or detaching completely.

Causes of a bad knob can include continuous use leading to wear and tear, exposure to heat and cleaning chemicals that degrade materials, or mechanical failure within the control mechanism.
