Range Knob Cracked, Stripped or Spinning Free? Burner Control Knob W10872674 – Fix KitchenAid Left-Front Burner Knob Failures Fast
If your KitchenAid or JennAir range has a cracked, stripped, or freely-spinning left-front burner knob, W10872674 is the correct OEM replacement — not W10872668, which fits the other burner positions. In most KitchenAid KSDB900, KSGB900, and KSGG700 series ranges, the left-front or simmer-burner control knob is a position-specific part — when it cracks, strips, or melts from heat exposure, you lose precise control of that burner and cannot safely shut it off. ⚡ Common wear item in KitchenAid-built slide-in and freestanding gas and dual-fuel ranges. Part W10872674 is the genuine OEM replacement knob that snaps directly onto the left-front valve stem and restores full, precise burner control immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Range powers on and burners ignite or heat normally
- ✔ The gas valve or element itself is functioning correctly
- ✔ The knob stem on the range panel is intact and undamaged
- ✔ The affected knob is the left-front or simmer-burner position
- ✔ ONLY problem is the knob itself — cracked, melted, stripped, or missing
⚠️ Important: W10872674 is the left-front/simmer-burner knob. For all other burner positions on these ranges, use W10872668. Not sure which you need? Send us your model number — we’ll confirm before you order.

💡 Pro Tip
W10872674 and W10872668 look nearly identical but are not interchangeable — they fit different valve stem profiles. Installing the wrong knob will result in a loose fit or incorrect engagement. Always confirm the burner position before ordering. Contact us if you’re unsure which knob your model requires.
