This Part Fixes These Problems

Knob Broken or Cracked

The plastic knob body has cracked, chipped, or snapped off — replacing it restores the ability to turn and select wash/dry cycles.

Knob Spins Without Engaging

The D-shaped insert is stripped or worn, causing the knob to spin freely on the shaft without changing the cycle selector position.

Knob Missing

The control knob has been lost or removed and the flat selector shaft is exposed, making cycle selection impossible without a replacement knob.

Knob Wobbles or Falls Off

The knob no longer sits securely on the shaft, wobbles during use, or repeatedly falls off — a fresh replacement snaps on firmly and eliminates the issue.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Control Knob the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ The knob spins freely but does not change the cycle selector position

⚠️ The knob is cracked, chipped, or has broken off completely from the shaft

⚠️ The D-shaped insert inside the knob is stripped and no longer grips the shaft

⚠️ The knob wobbles or falls off during normal use

Before ordering, confirm your knob uses a D-shaped shaft (flat on one side). If the knob spins but does not engage the selector switch, the underlying switch may also need inspection — but in most cases, replacing the knob alone solves the problem immediately.

Questions & Answers

Does the 8182050 knob fit both washers AND dryers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. Part number 8182050 (also sold as WP8182050) is used on both Whirlpool and Kenmore Duet-series front-load washers and dryers. The same D-shaped shaft design is shared across both appliance types in this product family.
What color is this knob? My original was off-white — will this match?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
This replacement is the pewter/dark gray version (8182050). Whirlpool redesigned the color of this knob over the years, so some older appliances originally had an off-white or lighter gray knob. If you need bisque, order 8182049; for light gray, order 8181859; for blue, order 8181881. Functionally all versions are identical.
My knob spins but doesn't change the cycle — will replacing it fix the problem?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
If the D-shaped insert inside the knob is stripped, yes — a new knob will fix it. However, if the knob feels firm on the shaft but the selector still doesn't move, the underlying selector switch may be faulty. Test by removing the knob and trying to rotate the shaft directly with your fingers. If the shaft itself doesn't move the selector, the switch assembly needs inspection.
What tools do I need to replace this knob?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
None. The 8182050 control knob is a pure pull-off, push-on replacement. Simply pull the old knob straight off the shaft and press the new one on until it clicks. The entire job takes under 5 minutes. Always unplug the appliance first as a safety precaution.
Does this part replace AP3181683 and PS885408?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. This replacement is a verified cross-reference for AP3181683, PS885408, PS11744954, AP6011755, AH885408, EA885408, 1017594, 3980094, and 46197020742 — all of which are alternate catalog numbers for the same WP8182050 / 8182050 control knob.
