The Whirlpool WP3181304 is an equivalent knob made to regulate the surface burners on Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore gas ranges. This black knob, which has flame level indications on it, slides easily onto the range's assigned control panel shaft. It may be spun to accurately control the flame intensity from simmer to high heat by controlling the gas supply to the burner. You may find it more difficult to regulate cooking temperatures when a knob is broken or not working properly, which could result in uneven or burned cooking. You can resume cooking with accuracy and confidence by swapping out your malfunctioning knob for the WP3181304, which brings your gas range back to safe and effective functioning.
