The Start Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part initiates the drying cycle when you press the start button on the control panel. This switch sends a signal to the dryer to begin operation, ensuring your clothes drying process starts smoothly.

Symptoms of a bad start switch include:

  • The dryer not starting when the button is pressed
  • The dryer stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
  • No response or sound when pressing the start button
  • Intermittent operation or the need to press the button multiple times

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Start Switch (Part Number: OEM18025080)

1 Answer

Hello Joe. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Also check the heater and thermal fuses and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Hope this helps.
