Whirlpool Large Control Knob (W11675852)

The Whirlpool Large Control Knob lets you select and adjust your appliance settings by turning the control shaft behind the panel. It provides a grip surface and a marked indicator line so you can align the setting you want with the control panel labels.

Common causes of failure include cracks from impact, heat or age-related plastic fatigue, a stripped or worn inner hub that no longer grips the shaft, or a damaged indicator that makes settings hard to read. Cleaning chemicals and repeated force on a tight or stuck control can also weaken the knob over time.

If you are troubleshooting control selection problems, these symptoms can point to a bad control knob:

• The knob spins freely without changing the setting.
• The knob is loose, wobbles, or pulls off the shaft too easily.
• The knob is cracked, split, or the inner hub is stripped.
• The pointer/indicator is worn off or missing, making it hard to choose the correct setting.
• You cannot reliably select a setting because the knob slips on the shaft.
