Customer Questions and Answers for Push To Start Switch by Whirlpool

The Push To Start Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. It is the interface between the user and the dryer, initiating the drying cycle when pressed. This switch is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the dryer, ensuring that it starts only when the button is deliberately pressed, thereby preventing accidental start-ups.

Symptoms of a bad Push To Start Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the button is pressed
• The need to press the button multiple times to start the dryer
• The dryer starting without the button being pressed 

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