General Electric wb3x5479 Burner Control Knob

Product Description

The General Electric wb3x5479 is a genuine OEM burner control knob designed for GE gas or electric range surface burner assemblies. This replacement knob mounts to the burner control valve or switch stem on the range control panel, allowing the user to adjust heat settings at the cooktop. It is a direct OEM part sourced from General Electric, making it the correct fit for the original design specification. Appliance service technicians and experienced DIYers install this part when the original knob cracks, breaks, or loses its fit on the stem.

This knob is intended for residential GE range and cooktop applications where the surface burner control requires replacement. It is installed at the control panel and interfaces directly with the burner valve or infinite switch stem. Because no compatibility data was included in the product record, technicians should verify fitment against the appliance model number before ordering. This is a genuine OEM component, not an aftermarket substitute, which helps ensure correct stem engagement and marking alignment with the original control panel.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This part is typically installed by an appliance repair technician or a qualified DIYer. Disconnect the range from its power source and, for gas models, shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning service. The knob typically pulls straight off the stem and the replacement presses onto the stem without tools, but confirm stem shape and diameter match before forcing the part into place. Refer to the appliance service manual for any model-specific disassembly requirements.
