This push button switch is a direct-fit control button for select Whirlpool appliance control panels. It restores reliable tactile input so cycle selections and control functions respond when pressed. What it does:

• Acts as the user-facing control button on the appliance control console
• Completes the circuit when pressed so the control board registers the command
• Commonly fails if the button is stuck, cracked, or no longer makes contact
• Symptoms include an unresponsive or intermittent control button, or a button that feels loose or won't stay depressed

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the control console or panel; handle clips and trim carefully
• Keep track of screws and small parts; reassemble in reverse order

The Push Button is an OEM part for Whirlpool Laundry Centers. This part starts the wash or dry process, and making adjustments to settings. The push button is engineered for durability and a precise fit, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with the appliance's control panel.

Causes of a malfunctioning push button can include repeated use leading to wear and tear, accumulation of lint or detergent residue affecting its functionality, or damage to the button's contacts or the control panel circuitry. 

Symptoms of a bad Push Button include:

• Difficulty in engaging the desired cycle or setting
• The button feeling stuck or failing to return to its original position after being pressed
• The appliance not responding to button presses, resulting in an inability to start or modify cycles

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