Description
Restore reliable heat adjustment to your electric cooktop with the GE WB3K5243 Electric Range Surface Element Knob. This genuine OEM-style white plastic knob is designed for the infinite control switches that regulate the surface heating elements. The knob features a simple pointer line to indicate the heat setting (which is typically marked on the control panel overlay). It fits securely onto a standard D-shaped control shaft and should be replaced if the original knob is cracked, missing, or fails to grip the metal shaft correctly.
