The Knob is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It controls burner and oven functions, setting cooktop flames or selecting bake/broil temperatures. The knob attaches to the control panel shaft and interfaces with the electrical switch internals. Precise markings assist with reliable settings for any recipe.
Symptoms of a bad knob include:
- Loose, wobbly, or deteriorated fit that slips out of position
- Faded or hard-to-read surface markings
- Missings or broken pieces
Causes include normal wear over years of rotating cycles, impacts, or abrasions degrading the secure connection to the shaft. Mineral deposits may also adhere and affect smooth, precise movements.
This Whirlpool replacement knob is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid and other major appliance brands.
