WPW10437088 Whirlpool Range/Stove/Oven Knob

Product Name: Range/Stove/Oven Knob.

This knob is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part compatible with various Whirlpool models including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it fits certain products made for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Positioned on the front control panel, the knob allows for precise control over cooking settings through smooth rotation.

Common issues with a malfunctioning knob are often due to extended use which can lead to cracks or worn gears. These defects may cause difficulty in adjusting settings or result in the knob moving unexpectedly. Furthermore, if the knob is overtightened during installation, the threading on the knob post may become stripped.

Indications of a defective knob include:

- Inability to maintain selected functions, with settings changing on their own.
- Stiffness or struggle when attempting to alter temperature or other settings.
- The knob becoming detached from its mounting post.
- Worn or stripped threads that hinder secure reattachment.

This replacement knob is a certified genuine part from Whirlpool and is also suitable for use with some models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore.
