Whirlpool Black Electric Surface Element Knob - WPW10490038

Whirlpool Black Electric Surface Element Knob - WPW10490038

Restore smooth, predictable heat control at the cooktop with this genuine OEM Whirlpool range surface element control knob. It replaces a cracked, loose, or missing knob so you can turn the surface element on and select heat settings more confidently.

Key details: Black finish with gray details; sold individually. Compatible with select Whirlpool electric ranges. Controls electric surface element heat.

Before ordering: Confirm your exact model before ordering and compare the backside shaft opening, flat-side orientation, skirt shape, and pointer location. Similar-looking electric surface element knobs can install on the stem but still point to the wrong heat setting.

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify the original knob's color/finish, shaft shape, mounting style, and OFF alignment before ordering. Similar Whirlpool-family knobs can look alike but index differently.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Cracked or loose knob, missing knob, worn settings, or trouble selecting the correct surface element heat.
• Why it matters: A properly fitting knob helps restore predictable surface element control and reduces guesswork at the cooktop.

Pro Tip: Pull the old knob straight off and compare the backside opening and indicator line before installing the replacement. If the pointer does not line up with OFF or the heat settings, do not use the knob just because it fits on the stem.
