GE Profile Surface Burner Control Knob Parts — Models & Compatibility

If you've got a GE Profile range with a broken or missing control knob, you're looking at part number WB03X25796 — the stainless steel surface burner control knob that GE uses across dozens of their Profile and standard range models. This isn't just cosmetic: a damaged knob can make it impossible to adjust burner temperature accurately, and a loose knob can turn unexpectedly, creating a safety hazard.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The WB03X25796 replaces several older part numbers including WB03T10326, AP5986232, and PS11721433. To verify compatibility with your specific range, you'll need your model number — it's typically on a metal tag inside the oven door frame or on the front panel when you open the oven door. Check the compatible models list below against your exact model number before ordering.

About This Replacement Part

This is a genuine OEM-compatible surface burner control knob finished in stainless steel to match GE Profile ranges. It controls one of your cooktop burners, allowing you to adjust heat from simmer to high. The knob fits on the control valve stem with a D-shaped shaft — you simply pull the old knob straight off and push the new one on until it seats firmly. No tools required for installation, though you'll want to make sure the range is off and cool before replacing it. The stainless finish is designed to resist fingerprints and match the premium look of Profile-series appliances.

Installation Overview

Replacing a surface burner control knob is one of the simplest appliance repairs you can do. Turn off the range and let it cool completely. Grip the old knob firmly and pull straight out — it's held on by friction, not screws. Line up the D-shaped opening on the back of the new knob with the D-shaped control shaft, then push it on until it seats flush against the control panel. Test by turning the knob through its full range of motion — it should turn smoothly without wobbling.

Why Control Knobs Fail

Control knobs crack or break for a few common reasons. Overtightening when cleaning can crack the plastic hub inside the knob. Knobs near the oven vent get exposed to repeated heat cycles that make plastic brittle over time. Sometimes kids or pets pull on them, and occasionally they just wear out from years of daily use. If your knob turns but doesn't engage the valve stem properly, the D-shaped hub inside has likely stripped out — you'll feel it spin loosely instead of clicking into distinct positions.

Order Your Replacement Knob

The WB03X25796 stainless steel control knob is available now for $35.99. We ship fast, and installation takes about 30 seconds once your part arrives. If you're replacing one knob due to damage, consider whether your other knobs are showing signs of wear — they're all the same age and exposed to similar conditions, so ordering a full set now can save you another service call later.
