811195 / 805328 Ventilation Wolf Hood Control Knob - Pack of 4

Key Features

• High-Heat Resistant Polymer: Manufactured from a premium, heat-stabilized plastic designed specifically to withstand the intense ambient heat rising from professional-grade ranges and cooktops without warping or melting.
• Reinforced D-Shaft Stem: Features a precision-molded internal D-shaped socket that provides a secure, slip-free grip on the fan or light switch shaft, preventing the knob from spinning freely or stripping under torque.
• Professional Aesthetic Match: Engineered with a high-quality finish and classic styling to seamlessly match the original factory knobs of Sub-Zero Wolf ventilation systems, restoring the high-end look of your kitchen.
• Tactile Control Grip: The knob's exterior is contoured for a comfortable, non-slip grip, allowing for precise adjustment of fan speeds and lighting levels even with gloved or damp hands.

Compatibility & Fitment

This control knob is the primary replacement for various Wolf professional ventilation products. Key compatible series include:

• Wolf Pro Wall Hoods: Fits many PW and PWC series models (e.g., PW302418, PW362418, PW482418).
• Wolf Island Hoods: Compatible with various PI and PIH series units designed for center-island cooking stations.
• Wolf Hood Liners: Fits standard PL and PLS series insert liners used in custom cabinetry hoods.
• Wolf Chimney Hoods: Direct fit for many CT and W series chimney-style ventilation systems.
• Note: This knob is designed for a D-shaped shaft. Please verify your hood’s switch shaft shape before ordering, as some older legacy models may use a different interface.

When to Replace

• Knob Spins Freely: The internal plastic D-socket has cracked or stripped, making it impossible to adjust the fan speed or turn the lights on/off.
• Knob Snapped Off: The mounting stem has completely sheared off due to plastic fatigue or accidental impact.
• Melted or Deformed: Exposure to excessive heat from a high-BTU burner has caused the plastic to warp, making the knob difficult to turn or causing it to rub against the control panel.
• Cracked Exterior: Visible fractures on the face or sides of the knob that compromise the professional look of the appliance.
• Missing Knob: The original knob was lost during a kitchen remodel, move, or cleaning process.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure the hood fan and lights are turned off before replacement. While this is a mechanical repair, it is best to avoid shifting the switches while they are under load.
• Simple Pull Removal: Most Wolf hood knobs are friction-fit. Pull the old knob straight toward you to remove it. If it is stuck due to grease buildup, you can wrap a cloth around the knob and use pliers for extra leverage, but be careful not to scratch the stainless steel panel.
• Clean the Shaft: Before installing the new 811195, use a degreaser or alcohol wipe to clean the metal switch shaft. Removing old grease ensures the new knob fits securely and doesn't slip.
• Align the "D": Look at the back of the new knob to find the flat side of the D-shape. Align this perfectly with the flat side of the metal shaft on the hood.
• Firm Push: Push the knob firmly onto the shaft until it is seated flush against the control panel. Test the full range of motion of the fan and light switches to ensure there is no rubbing or resistance.
