Whirlpool Plated Control Knob (W10415450)

The Whirlpool Plated Control Knob is a user-operated knob that fits onto an appliance control shaft so you can select settings and adjust operation. It transfers the turning force from your hand to the switch or timer behind the control panel and provides a clear grip for making changes.

Common causes of failure include cracking from age, heat, or impact, or wear inside the hub where the knob grips the shaft. The indicator mark can also wear off or become hard to see, making it difficult to align the setting you want.

Look for these symptoms to help confirm this knob is the part that addresses your issue:

• The knob is cracked, loose, or falls off the control shaft.
• The knob turns but does not change the setting or start a function.
• The knob is hard to turn because the hub is damaged or deformed.
• The indicator mark is worn or missing, so settings are hard to select accurately.
• The knob spins freely or slips, especially when trying to move between positions.
