The Control Knob is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and ovens. It allows the user to control the oven temperature or the heat level of the burners, making it an essential component for cooking precision.
Causes of a bad control knob can include regular wear and tear, physical damage such as cracking or breaking from impact, or the internal mechanism becoming stripped, which prevents it from engaging the control shaft properly.
Symptoms of a bad control knob include:
- Difficulty turning the knob
- The knob not staying in place
- Inconsistent temperature control
- The knob feeling loose or spinning freely
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
