Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer is completely unresponsive when the start button is pressed, although power and other required safety circuits are present.
• Dryer may start without the push-to-start button being pressed if the switch is stuck closed.
• Dryer may fail to shut off normally if the switch contacts are damaged or stuck.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the dryer has power and that the door closes normally before isolating the start switch as the cause.
• With power disconnected, inspect the switch body, terminals, and connected wires for looseness, heat damage, or corrosion.
• With power disconnected and the wires isolated as required by the appliance service procedure, use a multimeter to check whether the switch changes continuity only when the button is pressed.
• If the dryer hums but the drum does not start, investigate motor, belt, drum, and other starting-circuit components rather than assuming the push-to-start switch is defective.
