This potentiometer is the rotary sensor behind the control knob. It converts knob rotation into an electrical signal the control board uses to adjust settings, restoring smooth, accurate response when a worn or erratic control causes inconsistent operation.
- Translates knob rotation into a variable-resistance signal for the electronic control
- Enables the control board to regulate power/heat or speed, depending on model
- Common failure symptoms: unresponsive or jumpy settings, dead spots when turning, or settings that drift
- Helps restore precise, repeatable adjustments at the knob
What's included: 1 potentiometer Install notes:

- Move wires one at a time to the new part; align the shaft/flat to the knob as noted
