Whirlpool Dryer Start Button 8561811

Whirlpool OEM dryer start button used in the top-and-console control panel.

Is This the Right Part?

Check Before Replacing

• With the dryer safely powered, verify that the button is physically present, aligned, and moves normally when pressed.
• If the dryer does not respond to the button, verify the appliance model and inspect the surrounding control panel before replacing the button; a no-start condition is not by itself proof that the button is defective.
