Customer Questions and Answers for Knob (Push-To-Start), White by Whirlpool

This is the push-to-start control knob for the appliance's control panel. It restores a secure, positive press to start a cycle when the original knob is cracked, stripped, missing, or no longer engages the switch.

• Mounts on the push-to-start switch shaft on the control panel
• Provides the user interface to press and begin a cycle
• Symptoms can include a cracked or missing knob, slipping/spinning on the shaft, or the unit not starting when pressed

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the switch shaft; avoid prying against the panel
• Align the flat/D-shape on the shaft with the new knob and press fully until seated
• If the knob still slips, inspect the push-to-start switch shaft for wear or damage
