Whirlpool WP71002372 Surface Burner Knob for Range

The Whirlpool WP71002372 Range Surface Burner Knob is a part designed for use with Whirlpool ranges. This knob is used to adjust the heat level of the burner on the cooktop. Typically, it features markings or numbers that indicate various heat settings, which helps in setting the desired cooking temperature. When attached to the control panel of the range, the knob provides a means to access the internal mechanisms of the burner. Turning the knob sends a signal that modifies the heat output of the burner.

Replacing a faulty knob with the Whirlpool WP71002372 restores the function of adjusting the burner temperature effectively.
