Customer Questions and Answers for Start Switch by Frigidaire

The Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. This part initiates the dryer's cycle once the user selects the desired settings. By pressing the start switch, the motor activates, and the drying process begins, ensuring clothes are dried according to the selected specifications.

Symptoms of a bad Start Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the switch is pressed
• Intermittent starting issues, where the dryer sometimes starts and sometimes doesn’t
• The need to hold the switch in place to keep the dryer running
• Unusual noises when the switch is pressed

Causes for a malfunctioning Start Switch can include electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or connections, wear and tear from frequent use, or internal failures within the switch mechanism that prevent it from signaling the motor to start.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore dryers.
