WPW10563095 Whirlpool Push to Start Switch for Washer/Dryer

Push to Start Switch for Washer/Dryer

This component is suitable for use when your dryer fails to start. It is compatible with several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, as well as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models under the Whirlpool umbrella. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it directly replaces the existing switch in Whirlpool dryers.

The function of the Push to Start Switch is straightforward: it activates the dryer by signaling the motor to begin rotating and the heating element to start heating. This action commences the drying process based on your chosen settings.

Common indicators of a faulty Push to Start Switch are:
- The dryer does not start despite pressing the button.
- The dryer starts inconsistently.
- Repeated pressing is necessary to start the drying cycle.
- Strange noises occur when the button is pressed.

Potential causes of a malfunctioning Push to Start Switch might include electrical problems like poor wiring or connections, normal wear and tear from regular use, or mechanical issues that hinder the switch's ability to engage the motor and heating element.

This part is also designed to fit Maytag, KitchenAid, and Kenmore dryer models.
