Genuine OEM W11517331 Electric Range Surface Burner Control Knob
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool W11517331 is the surface burner control knob for select Whirlpool electric ranges. It mounts on the front panel and turns the burner on and off and adjusts the heat setting. Knobs wear out with age or get damaged, and a cracked, broken, loose or stripped knob, or one with the markings worn off, is the usual reason to replace it.
This is the original Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent. It is sold individually, one knob per order. Check your model number before ordering, because Whirlpool uses similar knobs in other finishes.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off The Burner And Let It Cool Make sure all burners are off and cool. Pull the old knob straight off its spindle. Line up the new knob with the spindle and push it straight on until it is fully seated, then check that the off-position marking lines up and the burner responds. If the knob spins freely on a good spindle or the burner still doesn't respond, the burner switch may need replacing instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
My burner won't heat or start. Is a new knob the fix?
Sometimes. If the old knob is stripped, broken or loose, a new knob can fix it. If the knob is in good condition, the burner switch or element is more likely the cause, so check those before replacing the knob.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Do I get one knob or a set?
One knob. If you need more than one burner knob replaced, order the quantity you need.
Will this fit my range?
It is listed for many Whirlpool electric ranges, but the model list above is only a sample and some models use a different knob. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
