Chrome Metal Fan Control Knob for Range/Stove/Oven

This chrome-colored metal fan control knob adjusts the heat level in your oven and is compatible with D-shaped shafts. It measures approximately 1-1/2 inches in diameter and is available for individual purchase. This knob is essential for starting the oven or heating the element and requires no special tools for installation.

Compatible brands include Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.

The knob is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part specifically for Whirlpool ranges but also works with certain Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

Common issues with control knobs often stem from regular wear due to daily use and the physical turning of the knob. Over time, this can lead to surface degradation and operational difficulties.

Indications of a malfunctioning knob include:
- Difficulty in turning or selecting functions
- Knobs that detach or do not remain in place
- Faded text on the knob making it hard to read
- Stiff or stuck movements that hinder effective control

This replacement part addresses problems where the oven won’t start or the heating element fails to warm up.
