• Replaces cracked, worn, loose, or missing knobs that prevent temperature changes
• Helps restore safe, predictable appliance operation when the original control is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazard

• If the knob feels loose or doesn't engage, inspect the control shaft and replace any damaged retainers or adapters as needed
• Use care to avoid forcing the knob

The Alumilastic Cement is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, typically used in refrigerators and freezers. It serves as a thermal mastic compound, designed to provide a secure and heat-conductive bond between various components, such as evaporator coils and the interior walls of the appliance. 

Causes of a bad alumilastic cement can include drying out, cracking, or losing its adhesive properties over time. This can occur due to age, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or improper application. When the cement fails, it can lead to poor thermal conductivity and decreased cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad alumilastic cement include:

• Reduced cooling performance
• Unusual noises from the cooling system
• Components becoming loose or detaching
• Increased energy consumption

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