Whirlpool W10163288 Range Control Knob Oem

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10163288 is a genuine OEM range control knob designed to restore proper burner or oven function on Whirlpool ranges. Control knobs are subject to heat, grease, and repeated mechanical stress, making them a common wear item in both residential and commercial-light kitchen environments. This part replaces a cracked, broken, or missing knob and restores the tactile interface between the user and the range control valve or switch. Installation is straightforward and typically requires no special tools. Sourcing a genuine OEM part ensures dimensional accuracy and correct fit on the original mount shaft.

This knob is intended for use on Whirlpool brand ranges as an OEM-spec replacement. It is suited to residential kitchen applications where the original knob has worn, cracked, or been lost. Appliance repair technicians and experienced homeowners performing their own repairs are the typical installers. Always confirm the model number of the range before ordering to verify this part number is the correct fitment for that specific unit.

Compatibility

Designed as a genuine OEM-spec replacement control knob for Whirlpool brand ranges. Confirm your appliance model number against Whirlpool parts documentation before installation to ensure correct fitment.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the range at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any repair work. On gas ranges, verify the gas supply valve is in the off position before handling components near the burner valve stems. Control knobs typically pull straight off the valve shaft and push back on without tools, but consult the appliance owner's manual for model-specific guidance. Do not force the knob onto the shaft if resistance is felt, as misalignment can damage the underlying valve or switch.
