Washer Push Button Start Switch Parts

Replacement timer knob for washers. Installs on the control panel to operate the timer dial. Order if your original knob is cracked, broken, or missing.

This water level pressure switch senses tub water level and signals the control to stop filling and advance the cycle. Replacing a failed switch restores proper fill shut-off and allows the washer to move to wash, drain, and spin.

• Detects water level via air pressure in the attached hose from the tub air dome
• Signals the timer/control to close inlet valves at the selected fill level
• Enables agitation and spin only when the level is appropriate or the tub is empty
• Typical symptoms of a failed switch include overfilling or underfilling, continuous filling, cycle not advancing, or no spin

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the switch in the control console or top panel; note wire locations for reassembly
• Transfer the pressure hose and wire connectors to the new switch one at a time; ensure the hose is clear, not kinked or cracked, and fits snugly
• After installation, run a quick fill test to ensure proper shut-off and cycle progression

Replaces a worn, cracked, or broken timer knob assembly on your washer. Mounts on the timer shaft to restore secure grip and smooth cycle selection.

If your washer overfills, underfills, or won't advance cycles, the water level pressure switch may have failed. Takes about 10-15 minutes to replace.

Replace your washer's broken, cracked, or missing control knob with this rubberized grip selector dial. Installs on the control panel for secure turning.

Washer won't spin or door won't lock? This door lock spin enable switch signals the control to start high-speed spin. Moderate DIY repair, 30-60 minutes.

This is the washer's water level switch that senses tub level via air pressure and provides five selectable fill settings. Replacing a failed switch restores accurate filling and lets the cycle advance properly through wash, rinse, and spin.

• Monitors air pressure from the tub to detect actual water level
• Controls the inlet valves to start/stop filling at the selected setting
• Signals the timer/control to begin agitation and advance the cycle once full
• Common symptoms: overfilling or water keeps running, stops filling too soon or won't fill, inconsistent water levels, cycle won't advance due to incorrect level detection

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the control console; remove the selector knob/dial and panel as needed
• Note wire locations (take a photo), move the harness, and transfer the pressure hose; ensure the hose is clear and firmly seated
• Securely mount the new switch, reassemble the console/knob, restore utilities, and test each fill level

Attaches to the timer shaft to select wash cycles and start your washer. Replace this knob if it's cracked, stripped, broken, or missing to restore control.

This fixed-value resistor is an electrical component used in select dryers to limit current in a specific control circuit. It helps the timer or electronic control operate correctly by dropping voltage to safe, design-intended levels.

• Provides precise resistance to reduce voltage/current in the designated dryer circuit
• Supports proper operation of the timer, control board, or end-of-cycle signal (varies by model)
• Failure may present as a timer that won't advance, an inoperative signal/buzzer, or irregular cycle behavior
• Replace if visibly burned/damaged or if testing shows an open or shorted condition

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the console/wiring harness and note original wire routing
• Make secure, insulated connections and route the resistor/leads exactly as original to avoid heat or chafing
• After installation, run a test cycle to ensure proper operation of the affected function

Fix a washer that won't fill with water or overfills with this water level pressure switch. Controls proper water amounts for each wash cycle.

This control knob attaches to the appliance's control shaft so you can select settings with a solid, positive feel. Replace a cracked, stripped, or missing knob to restore smooth operation and a clean, finished look.

• Attaches to a switch or valve shaft to select temperatures, burner levels, or cycles
• Transfers your hand turn to the control shaft for accurate setting changes
• Common symptoms: cracked hub, spins without engaging, wobbly/loose, falls off, or missing
• Helps maintain a uniform appearance across the control panel

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the shaft; avoid prying against the control panel
• Align the insert with the shaft's flats or splines and press straight on until fully seated
• Match position- and finish-specific knobs to the original on models that use different knobs per location
