The Start Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This switch initiates the dryer's cycle, signaling the dryer to begin its drying process. Made with precision to fit specific Whirlpool models, this start switch ensures reliability and performance. Over time, wear and tear or electrical issues can impact the switch's functionality, leading to potential problems with starting the dryer.
Causes of a bad start switch can range from electrical faults within the switch itself, wear and tear from repeated use, or physical damage that affects the switch mechanism.
Symptoms of a bad Start Switch include:
- The dryer not starting when the start button is pressed
- Intermittent operation or failure to maintain the cycle once started
- Unusual noises when the start button is pressed
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
