W11517331 Whirlpool Control Knob for Range/Stove/Cooktop

Control Knob for Range/Stove/Cooktop, Stainless Color. This product is compatible with Whirlpool brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it fits appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands. This knob, made of plastic, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool cooktops.

Common issues with control knobs may arise from normal usage, such as the fading of printed markings or the loosening and cracking of the stem, which affects its functionality over time.

Indications of a malfunctioning surface burner knob include:
- Difficulty in adjusting the knob to the desired setting
- A loose or inconsistent feel when turning
- Worn-out or unreadable heat level indicators

This OEM part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
