The Whirlpool WPW10244631 is a replacement knob made exclusively for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This crucial component functions as your burners' control center. Made of sturdy plastic, the knob usually has markings that show the different levels of flame intensity. You can control how much gas gets to the burner by turning the knob. The gas flow is increased by turning it counterclockwise, raising the flame and cooking temperature. Turning it clockwise limits gas flow, which lowers the flame for simmering or delicate activities. For cooking to be exact and safe, a knob must work. The WPW10244631 replaces a broken or missing knob on your Whirlpool range, giving you back control and functionality so you can cook with confidence and ease going forward.
