Whirlpool & Amana Gas Cooktop Control Knob Parts — Models & Compatibility

If you've got a Whirlpool or Amana gas cooktop where the control knobs have cracked, won't turn smoothly, or the indicator markings have worn off completely, you're looking at the W10698166 control knob kit. This replacement fits dozens of Whirlpool WCG-series cooktops, several Amana AGC models, and even select IKEA cooktops manufactured by Whirlpool. It's a direct OEM replacement that restores full burner control without replacing the entire valve assembly.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Your model number's stamped on a metal tag, usually along the front frame under the cooktop surface or inside the storage drawer below. You'll need to lift the cooktop or pull the drawer completely out to read it. Look for model numbers starting with WCG51, WCG55, WCG75, WCG97 for Whirlpool units, or AGC6540 for Amana models.

This kit works across three main series: the WCG51US0D series (black, stainless, and white), WCG55US0H series, and WCG75US0D series. Amana's AGC6540KF models in all three color options use the identical knob design. The IKEA ICS500DS00 also uses this same Whirlpool-manufactured control system.

About This Replacement Part

The W10698166 is a complete control knob kit that includes all burner knobs for your cooktop — typically five knobs depending on your specific model configuration. These knobs control the gas valve stems that regulate flame intensity from simmer to high heat. Over time, the plastic knobs crack from repeated heating and cooling cycles, the metal D-shaft inserts loosen, or the indicator marks fade until you can't tell which position is "lite" versus "off."

What makes this a worthwhile replacement: you're getting factory-spec knobs with clear temperature markings, proper D-shaft fitment that won't slip during adjustment, and heat-resistant plastic that'll handle the thermal stress better than aftermarket alternatives. The kit design means you don't need to disassemble valve assemblies or deal with gas line connections — it's strictly a surface-level swap.

Cross-Reference Numbers

This part supersedes several older Whirlpool part numbers. If you're cross-referencing from a service manual or previous order, W10698166 replaces AP5949868, PS10057067, 3451573, and EAP10057067. All these numbers reference the same current production kit.

Compatible Model Series

This replacement works across Whirlpool's 30-inch and 36-inch gas cooktop lineup from roughly 2012-2018 production years. The WCG series represents Whirlpool's sealed burner cooktops with continuous grates, while Amana's AGC6540 models share the identical control platform. IKEA-branded models like the ICS500DS00 were manufactured by Whirlpool using the same component specifications.

Before You Order

Verify your model number matches the compatible list. These knobs are model-specific — the D-shaft diameter and the indicator placement won't work on older Whirlpool models or different product lines. If your cooktop's from before 2012 or uses a different burner configuration, you'll need a different kit. The $49.99 price covers the complete set, not individual knobs.
