WP8273103 Whirlpool Control Knob for Range/Stove/Oven

Control Knob for Range/Stove/Oven.

This control knob is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part specifically for Whirlpool gas ranges, although it also fits certain models from KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore gas ranges and cooktops. Whirlpool manufactures this part and similar components for other brands including Amana, Maytag, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as for products sold through Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

The function of the control knob is to manually adjust and set cooking features and temperature on the stove's burners. It is a rotary tool essential for the proper operation of your appliance.

Common issues with control knobs often arise from normal use, leading to wear and tear of internal parts or the stripping of the knob's surface, which affects grip and functionality.

When a control knob is failing, you might notice several symptoms:
- The knob may become difficult to turn or may not activate the burners effectively.
- It could feel loose, detach, or appear misaligned on the control panel.
- You might experience inaccurate burner settings, which can lead to uneven cooking results, such as scorched pans or undercooked food.
- The knob might also fail to maintain the set temperature, shifting from the chosen settings on its own.

The knob is black and has a diameter of about 2 inches. If you require this part in white, please order part number WP8273104; for biscuit, order WP8273106.
