Joe Smith for Model Number Whirlpool Duet How does someone actually break this button? I found the video very helpful and was able to successfully get my washer running again. However, I don't understand how this button could actually break. My problem was that the tan plastic piece that holds the button had broken off and was no longer hovering over the small switch on the circuit board. Followed the steps in the video to gain access to the real switch and reassembled without the button or the broken plastic. Washer is almost 15 years old and not worth sinking a lot of money into but thanks for getting it going again.
Answer Joe, Normally the button will break just from use or pushing too hard on the start button when starting the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, June 30, 2017
