Replacing the WP71001057 Whirlpool Range/Cooktop Gas Valve Knob
No matter how well your appliances are working, they can always benefit from a few replacement parts every now and then. If you have a Whirlpool range and need to replace the gas valve knob, the following steps will help you get the job done quickly and safely.
Safety Precautions
Before you begin the repair, it's important to ensure your safety throughout the process. Make sure that your gas appliance is off and that it does not have any gas leaking from it. You should also wear protective gloves and safety glasses for extra protection.
Removing the Old Knob
The first step is to take off the old knob. To do this, remove the two screws from the back of the knob and then slide the knob off the front of the valve.
Installing the New Knob
Once the old knob has been removed, you can install the new one in its place. Slide the knob onto the valve, making sure that the grooves on the knob fit into the valve’s slots. After that, you can reattach the two screws that you took off earlier and tighten them securely.
Testing the New Knob
The last step is to make sure that the new knob is working correctly. Turn the gas on and test the knob by turning it both ways. If the knob turns smoothly, then you have successfully completed the repair.

Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
