Part W11517335 Range Surface Element Control Knob
Purpose
Adjusts the heat level of the surface cooking elements.
Details
The W11517335 is a genuine OEM surface element control knob designed for Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid electric ranges. This knob features a chrome-style finish and allows the user to manually control the temperature of the range's heating elements. Over time, the internal plastic "D-shaped" stem receiver can crack or strip out due to heat exposure and mechanical stress, leading to a knob that spins freely without turning the underlying switch. If your knob is missing, cracked, or no longer engaging with the control shaft, replacing it restores full functionality and the aesthetic appearance of your control panel. Note: Many ranges use visually similar knobs for different functions; verify this specific part number against your model's parts diagram to ensure the correct "D" stem orientation and markings.
Included Items
One chrome control knob; no tools required for a simple "pull-off, push-on" installation.
