Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Switch

Fix unresponsive buttons or cycles that won't start with this dishwasher rocker switch. Restores tactile control panel operation. Simple swap repair.

Fix selector buttons that won't engage or stay pushed in. This dishwasher pushbutton switch restores control panel function. Complete assembly replacement.

This push button switch assembly replaces a worn or unresponsive control button to restore reliable user input on the appliance. It provides a firm tactile response so commands register correctly at the control panel. What it does:

• Acts as the user-facing push button that completes the control circuit when pressed
• Restores responsiveness when buttons are stuck, intermittently work, or fail to actuate
• Helps eliminate missed starts or unrecognized button presses at the console
• Fits into the control panel and interfaces with the appliance's internal switch contacts

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the control panel; keep fasteners and trim in a safe place
• Handle connectors gently—disconnect and reconnect wiring harnesses by the plug, not the wires

Dishwasher not starting or won't turn on? This rocker switch controls power functions. Common fix for unresponsive control panels on many models.
