General Electric Washer WBB3300A2WW Won't start or doesn't start

The Button is an OEM component for GE top-load washers. Located on the control panel, this button actuates a specific function such as starting or pausing the cycle. Designed for durability, the textured plastic construction withstands millions of presses over decades of use.

Symptoms of a bad button include:

• The button sticking in the depressed position  
• Failure to trigger the assigned function when pressed
• Cracks developing in the plastic face over time

Causes may consist of cracked circuitry behind the panel from water intrusion or repeated impact. General wear reducing button sensitivity also occurs.

This GE button restores full operation for select models including those by Hotpoint, RCA, and compatible Kenmore lines. 

The Lid Switch Kit is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part detects whether the washer lid is closed, and allows the machine to operate only when the lid is properly shut. This safety feature prevents the washer from running when the lid is open, ensuring safe and efficient operation. For the magnet assembly order WH12X10276.

Causes of a bad lid switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues, or physical damage from rough handling.  

Symptoms of a bad lid switch include:

• The washing machine not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• The washer not agitating or spinning
• The machine running only when the lid is manually pressed down
• Error codes related to the lid switch

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
