When you're shopping for home ranges ovens cooktops, the first fork in the road is repair versus replace. You might be looking at a cracked glass console, a worn knob, a faulty burner switch, or a range that needs to go altogether. This set of four options spans from a $18 knob replacement to a $1,710.99 full-size electric range, with a used KitchenAid glass console and an open-box GE infinite control switch in between. That spread shows the real decision: a targeted part can handle a single failure, while a full range is a much bigger commitment.
Quick Take
- Universal stove knob replacements - Refresh worn controls on many gas and electric ranges if the shaft size matches.
- WB24X25013 infinite control switch - Replace a failing surface element control on GE-brand and compatible ranges.
- KitchenAid glass console assembly - Restore a KitchenAid range with a complete console/control-board/end-caps set.
- Cosmo electric range - Move from repairs to a brand-new cooktop-plus-oven appliance.

Product Notes
KitchenAid Range Oven Glass Console 9751898 3190378 Complete
This used console set combines the glass console, control board, and left/right end caps, which makes it a complete fix for a damaged KitchenAid range. This genuine KitchenAid assembly is made for freestanding installation. The multicolor unit uses metal, plastic, and glass, and compatibility includes KitchenAid and Whirlpool ranges. The limitation is that it is used rather than new, and it is not a universal part, so you need a KitchenAid-compatible range. This is a repair-level purchase for someone who wants to restore the original console instead of buying a whole new stove.
5 Sets Universal Stove Knob Replacements Compatible W/ Electric Range Oven Knob
This new kit gives you universal knobs that fit many gas and electric stoves, ovens, and ranges. Color-coded shaft openings cover roughly 0.15 to 0.25 inches, so you can match the knob to your stove's D-shaped shaft. The kit also replaces common part numbers like KN002, AP5641247, and TJRK103. The limitation is that it is not for barbecues or heaters, and if your shaft size does not match the interior diameter, it won't work. For a quick refresh, this kit covers a straightforward repair.
WB24X25013 Infinite Control Switch Fits GE Range Stove Oven Replaces PS11729102
The WB24X25013 is an open-box infinite control switch that directly replaces part number PS11729102 and fits GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore ranges. It includes an interior light and an energy regulator for dual surface elements at 240VAC and 15A. That makes it a specific repair part for a range whose burner control needs attention. The limitation is the open-box condition; because the compatible brands include several families, you'll want to match your model against the compatibility. This is a targeted replacement that can keep an older range working.
30 Inch Electric Range Smooth Glass Cooktop 4 Burner Convection Oven
This Cosmo electric range is the full-appliance route. It has a smooth glass cooktop with four radiant elements, a 4.9 cubic foot convection oven, knob controls, a storage drawer, and a matte stainless finish. The unit is designed for slide-in installation and is new. The limitation is the scale: the range weighs 148.4 pounds and measures about 27.58 inches deep, 29.88 inches wide, and 37.05 inches tall, so the physical fit in your kitchen matters. If you're not looking to repair an existing range but to replace it entirely, this one product does the job of cooktop and oven together.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you're repairing a GE-style range and the problem is a burner control, the WB24X25013 infinite control switch is the most direct fix. If you need a fresh set of knobs on a gas or electric range, the universal stove knob replacement kit is the simplest route. For a KitchenAid range with a broken glass console, the 9751898 console assembly is the part to consider. And if you want to step up to a new appliance with a smooth cooktop and oven, the Cosmo electric range is the complete choice. Match the option to your repair-versus-replace plan rather than assuming bigger is better.
