Push-to-Start Switch for Washer/Dryer

This switch serves as an essential component when a dryer does not activate.

The primary function of the Push-to-Start Switch is to engage the dryer by instructing the motor to rotate and the heating element to generate heat, thereby initiating the drying cycle according to the selected settings.

Signs indicating a defective Push-to-Start Switch include:
- The dryer remains unresponsive when the button is pressed.
- The dryer starts only intermittently.
- Multiple presses are needed to begin the drying process.
- Unusual sounds occur upon pressing the button.

Causes for a malfunctioning Push-to-Start Switch can encompass electrical issues such as faulty wiring or loose connections, typical wear from frequent use, or mechanical problems that prevent the switch from activating the motor and heating element effectively.

Additionally, this part is designed to be compatible with dryers from Maytag, KitchenAid, and Kenmore.
