Whirlpool 696347 Control Knob Oem Replacement

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 696347 is a genuine OEM control knob designed as a direct replacement for compatible Whirlpool appliances. Control knobs provide the primary interface between the user and the appliance's operating system, allowing selection of settings such as temperature, cycle, or function modes.
