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.
