This control knob is a direct-fit dial used to select settings on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It restores a worn, cracked, or missing user interface so you can confidently set temperature and cycle controls. What it does:

• Fits onto the appliance control shaft to allow manual selection of settings and temperatures
• Restores a visible pointer for accurate setting selection
• Resolves common symptoms such as cracked, loose, or non-turning knobs
• Provides a simple cosmetic and functional replacement for damaged or faded dials

• Safety first: disconnect power (or unplug) before removing or installing the control knob
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft; align the replacement on the splines and press firmly until seated
• Do not force the knob onto the shaft—if it does not seat easily, double-check alignment
• If the control shaft is damaged or loose, replace the underlying control assembly as needed

This vertical door seal runs along the sides of the oven door opening to keep heat contained. Replacing a worn side gasket restores a tight seal for more consistent temperatures and efficient baking performance.

• Seals the side edges of the oven door to reduce heat loss and maintain set temperature
• Helps the oven preheat properly and bake more evenly
• Replaces side gaskets that are torn, frayed, hardened, or permanently compressed
• Common signs include visible gaps or tears, heat escaping at door edges, longer preheat times, and temperature fluctuations

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable). Allow the oven to cool completely.
• Remove the old side seal from its channel or clips; note routing and orientation.
• Clean the channel. Press the new seal into place without stretching; ensure ends/clips are fully seated.
• Close the door to confirm uniform contact along both sides; reseat as needed.

This rotary selector switch lets users choose cycles or settings from the appliance control panel, restoring reliable selection and control responsiveness when the original switch is worn, loose, or unresponsive. What it does:

• Rotates to select cycle, temperature, or function positions on the control console.
• Sends the selected position signal to the appliance control so the unit runs the chosen program.
• Common symptoms: knob won't turn smoothly, selections don't change, intermittent or no response from the control.
• Replacing a damaged switch can eliminate loose or erratic selector behavior.

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove the control panel and knob to access the switch; retain screws and fasteners for reassembly.
• Disconnect wire harnesses carefully—do not pull on wiring; use proper tools to release terminals.
