Dryer Latch Switch Parts

This is a start switch intended for use with dryers. With time or because of damage caused by accident, the start switch may stop working correctly. If the start switch isn't working, then the dryer will not function properly, and a replacement part should be ordered. If the push to start switch doesn't respond, it could be damaged or broken. Replacing the push to start switch on a dryer is a simple process. Start by unplugging the machine. Remove the back panel and pull out the old push to start button. Put the new button in its place and reattach the rear panel. Wear gloves for protection. Restore power only after the complete reassembly is performed. This push-to-start button is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. The part is sourced from the manufacturer and made of durable materials. The push-to-start button can be installed in various dryer models made by SpeedQueen and Alliance brands.

This micro switch is a compact, snap-action electrical switch that sends an on/off signal when a lever, latch, or paddle is moved. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable detection and control response for the affected function.

• Converts mechanical movement into an electrical open/close signal to the control
• Commonly used for lever/paddle actuators, latches, or interlock detection within the appliance
• Safe symptom clues: no response when actuated, intermittent operation, or a function stuck on/off
• Physical clues: weak or absent "click" when pressed, heat discoloration or damage at terminals

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the product is connected to a water line, close the supply valve
• Note wire positions and terminal labels (COM/NO/NC); transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Match the actuator orientation and mounting position to the original for proper operation
• After installation, verify continuity with a multimeter and test function before reassembly
