GE Range Knob Cracked or Broken? Burner Control Knob WS01L12266 – Restore Full Burner Control Fast

If a burner control knob on your GE electric range is cracked, broken, stripped, or missing, you’ve lost the ability to safely and accurately set that burner’s heat level. In most GE electric ranges, the burner control knob mounts directly onto the infinite switch shaft and translates your turn into a precise heat setting from Off to High. When the knob’s D-shaft bore cracks or strips from heat cycling, the knob spins freely without engaging the switch — and the burner becomes uncontrollable. ⚡ One of the most commonly replaced parts on GE JS, JB, JCS, JD, JCB, PB, PCB, and PCS series electric ranges. Part WS01L12266 is the genuine OEM GE stainless steel replacement burner control knob that restores precise, safe heat control with a factory-correct fit and finish.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Range powers on and the burner heats normally when the switch shaft is turned manually
• ✔ The infinite switch beneath the knob is intact and operational
• ✔ Electrical supply to the range is confirmed OK
• ✔ ONLY problem is the knob itself — cracked, broken, stripped D-shaft bore, or missing

Not sure? Send us your model number — we'll confirm before you order.

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Burner knob cracked at the D-shaft insert and spins freely without engaging the switch
• Knob broken off or missing entirely, leaving only the bare switch shaft exposed
• Knob melted, warped, or discoloured from heat exposure near the burner
• Unable to select or hold a precise heat setting on the affected burner

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this burner control knob restores full, precise heat control immediately.
