WH01X10306 General Electric Washing Machine/Dryer Button Switch

Washing Machine/Dryer Button Switch Overview:

This button switch is a genuine OEM part designed for use with GE top-load washers, compatible with brands including Hotpoint, General Electric, and certain Kenmore models. It is situated on the control panel and is essential for initiating or pausing the machine's cycle. The button is made from durable, textured plastic, capable of enduring extensive use over many years.

Common issues with a faulty button switch may include:

- The button remaining stuck after being pressed
- Inability to activate the intended function upon pressing
- Visible cracks on the plastic surface over time

These problems can arise due to damaged circuitry behind the panel, possibly from water exposure or frequent use. Natural deterioration of the button's sensitivity is also a common issue.

By replacing the button switch, you ensure that the washer's control center maintains accurate communication with all operational components. This replacement button switch is specifically designed to restore functionality to affected GE models, as well as select appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

This component is particularly necessary if the washer fails to start.
