The Knob is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool ranges. This knob is used to control one of the surface burners on the cooktop and allows for easy temperature adjustment.
The knob cooktop plays an important role in operating and controlling the various heat settings of one of the burners. It provides a safe and ergonomic way to turn the burner on and off or adjust the flame height.
Causes of a bad knob include normal wear and tear over time through repeated use. The knob may become loose, cracked, or damaged buttons that no longer respond properly.
Symptoms of a bad knob include:
- Difficulty turning the knob or adjusting settings
- Knob loosely attached or falling off
- Knob buttons sticking or not responding at all
- Inaccurate temperature control
This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
