Whirlpool Stove Control Knob (W11159630)

The Whirlpool Stove Control Knob lets you select and adjust a surface burner or oven function by turning the control shaft behind the panel. It provides a gripping surface and a marked pointer so you can set the heat level or setting accurately. Common failures happen when the knob cracks, the internal insert wears out, or the hub rounds off from repeated use. Heat, impacts, and cleaning chemicals can weaken the plastic or loosen the fit, which can make the knob slip or stop turning the control properly. Look for these symptoms to help decide whether this control knob matches your problem: Knob spins freely without changing the burner or oven setting Knob is cracked, melted, or deformed Knob feels loose, wobbly, or falls off the shaft Pointer no longer lines up with the panel markings, making settings hard to judge Knob is hard to turn, sticks, or skips when rotating
