The Control Knob is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers and dryers. It attaches to the selector switch, enabling users to choose various settings such as wash or drying temperature, fabric type, and spin speed.
The most common causes of a defective control knob include internal stripping that prevents secure engagement with the selector shaft, wear and tear from frequent use, accidental impacts leading to cracks or breakage, and aging of the knob's material.
