• Common symptoms: cycle won't advance, timer knob doesn't move, dryer won't shut off, only one cycle works

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control console; note or label wire positions and transfer one at a time to the new timer
• Mount using existing hardware and align the timer shaft with the knob
• Run a test cycle to ensure the timer advances and shuts off properly

The Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is an electronic component responsible for initiating the heating elements and tumble cycles upon user command from the control panel.   

Causes of a bad start switch involve general wear over extended use. Failure of the internal conducting surfaces interrupts circuit activation as well.

Symptoms of a bad start switch include:  

• Heating elements or tumble cycles that will not engage properly
• Dryer fails to operate or stops mid-cycle unexpectedly
• Control panel appears non-responsive to selections  
• Error codes related to ignition or power delivery faults

Note: This dryer push-to-start switch has 2 terminals.

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