GE WB03K10303 Surface Burner Control Knob for Stove



FYI - GE Customer Service - Metal knobs
FYI - I called GE Customer Service at 800-386-1215. They are shipping me new knobs for $2.66 each (instead of their regular price of $39.50 each!!). The new knobs are all METAL, not plastic !!

Holding out for the heavier weight.
Not as shown: the photo of the back of the know shows two screws, while what was shipped does not have any screws. It may seem like a minor detail, but there are two versions of this knob. These *are* like the OEM part -- namely cheap plastic with a think silver film that wrinkles if you do not remove the knobs before selecting the self-clean cycle for the oven. When three of my original knobs developed wrinkles in the silver film, I asked GE for replacements; what GE sent were real stainless steel knobs. They had two screws on the back and were nearly twice as heavy as the cheap plastic that originally shiped with the range. Yes, GE wants $25 for each heavy gauge knob, but they are worth they ooze quality in a way that these do not. That said, will these do the job? Of course.

Fits a Bosch / Thermador dual fuel range
I have a Thermador RDF30QB range, and tried for months to replace a missing knob. The OEM ones cost over $25, and stick out and look cheap.
This knob is perfect, and looks better built at 1/2 the price.
