Installing was easy. It was delivered in good time. The only problem goes back to Whirlpool. For some reason they changed the length of the post on this switch so that it is longer. Now the attached knob sticks out more from the stove console compared to all the other switches and looks out of place. I was told that the new knob design would help. It doesn't.
