The Push Button is an OEM part for Whirlpool Laundry Centers. This part starts the wash or dry process, and making adjustments to settings. The push button is engineered for durability and a precise fit, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with the appliance's control panel.

Causes of a malfunctioning push button can include repeated use leading to wear and tear, accumulation of lint or detergent residue affecting its functionality, or damage to the button's contacts or the control panel circuitry. 

Symptoms of a bad Push Button include:

• Difficulty in engaging the desired cycle or setting
• The button feeling stuck or failing to return to its original position after being pressed
• The appliance not responding to button presses, resulting in an inability to start or modify cycles

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
