W11211501 Whirlpool Control Knob for Range/Stove/Oven

Control Knob for Range/Stove/Oven.

Whirlpool manufactures this OEM control knob, which is compatible with several brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces similar components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. This knob is essential for adjusting the functions of burners and ovens, such as setting the flame levels on the cooktop or choosing baking and broiling temperatures. It connects directly to the control panel shaft and works with the internal electrical switch to ensure accurate settings for cooking.

Common issues with a faulty knob include:

- A loose or wobbly fit, causing the knob to slip out of its designated position
- Surface markings that are faded or difficult to decipher
- Missing or damaged parts

These problems typically arise from regular use, which can lead to wear and tear from repeated turning, or from physical impacts and scratches that weaken the knob’s connection to the shaft. Mineral buildup can also interfere with the knob’s movement, affecting its functionality.

This replacement knob from Whirlpool is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, and other prominent brands.
