Whirlpool WP8566073 Control Knob Assembly White

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WP8566073 is a white indicator knob assembly designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for select Whirlpool residential washers and dryers. This control knob mounts to the control panel and allows the operator to select cycles or settings with a tactile, positive-click feel. Measuring 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.0 inches, it is a compact, drop-in replacement that restores full control panel function. It is typically installed by appliance service technicians or experienced DIYers performing control panel repairs on compatible laundry equipment.

This knob assembly is used in residential laundry applications, fitting both gas and electric dryer models as well as washer models in the Whirlpool product lineup. It is a common service part for control panel refurbishment when the original knob cracks, chips, or loses its indicator markings. The white finish matches original factory appearance on compatible units.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or by unplugging before beginning any control panel service. The knob typically pulls straight off the control shaft and the replacement presses firmly into place - no tools are required for most configurations, though a flat-blade screwdriver may assist in removing a retaining clip if present. Confirm the replacement knob seats fully and the indicator aligns correctly with the panel markings before restoring power.
