WPW10160371 Whirlpool Range Control Burner Knob

This Stainless Steel Electric Freestanding Range Control Burner Knob is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part specifically designed for Whirlpool electric ranges. It is compatible with several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. The knob, which is about 2 inches in diameter, allows users to adjust oven and cooktop settings by turning it.

Over time, the knob may malfunction due to regular use that leads to wear and tear or due to damage from prolonged exposure to heat, which can cause cracks or splits. Such issues can interfere with accurate temperature settings.

Problems that may arise from a faulty knob include difficulty in setting the desired temperature or function, increased risk of gas leaks if cracks affect the integrity of sealed components, and the knob becoming detached, which can pose burn hazards or other safety risks.

This replacement knob ensures the appliance operates efficiently and safely, maintaining the necessary control over cooking settings.
