Start switch replacement George Z. • Sebastian , FL • December 14, 2020
I have an old dryer. My wife wanted a new washer and dryer but I keep repairing the old ones. Not because I have to, but because I want to, it's personal now. Can't let my old dryer beat me down. We have pushed that old Start-Stop switch so many times it just wore out. Bing-bang-boom...it was simple.

The timer and knob broke Elizabeth L. • Bartlett , TN • June 07, 2016
We watched the video on this website on how to change out the old timer (the plastic part had broken off and it wouldn't turn). My husband changed it all out in about 15 min. Saved us a lot of money as we didn't have to call a repair man!

- 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
What's included: 1 micro switch
- 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

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11176265
The Knob is an OEM component for Whirlpool dryers. As the user interface, it allows selections of temperature, settings, and time options with the twist of a finger.
Designed for comfort during extended cycles, the durable knob utilizes non-slip textured surfaces around robust internal gears. Integrated fasteners mount securely to shafts coupling knobs to their respective switches.
Causes of faulty knobs can include stripped internal teeth from mineral deposits binding moving parts or broken mounting tabs weakened through normal wear over many years.
Symptoms of a damaged knob include:
- Failure to engage settings or spin freely
- Dials loose on shaft allowing accidental shifts
- Missing labels from normal cleaning/wear reducing visibility
- Cracks or breaks compromising seal against moisture
Replace yours today with this genuine Whirlpool knob to restore easy navigation of cycles. Compatible with Kenmore and some Maytag dryers.
