A replacement push button for the appliance control panel that restores reliable user input and selection of settings. Use this button to replace cracked, worn, or unresponsive controls and return normal panel operation. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn push button on the control panel.
• Restores tactile feedback and reliable button activation when the original is stuck, cracked, or non-responsive.
• Allows selection of appliance cycles and settings that rely on that specific control input.
• Works as a direct-fit panel button when the OEM part number matches.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before beginning any work.
• Access typically requires removing the control or console; use appropriate screwdrivers and retain all fasteners.
• Inspect how the original button is mounted before removal—some buttons snap in, others seat behind the lens; if soldering or circuit-board removal is required, consider service.
• Confirm the OEM part number on your appliance and compare the replacement to the original before installation.

• Restores proper access-sensing when a worn or failed switch causes service-mode or control interlock issues
• Compatible where the appliance uses a dedicated access/service switch for control-board interlock functions

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove necessary panels or console to access and replace the switch
• Handle near control boards with care to avoid ESD damage; reconnect all wiring securely
