Press the start button but nothing happens — drum doesn't spin and heater doesn't activate. A failed push-to-start switch breaks the circuit that triggers both the motor and heating element.
Dryer starts on some presses but not others, or requires multiple attempts. Internal contact wear inside the switch causes inconsistent circuit closure.
The button feels mushy, sticks, or provides no tactile click. Mechanical failure of the switch mechanism prevents it from sending the start signal.
Audible noise occurs when the button is pressed but the drum never begins to turn. The switch may be partially conducting but unable to fully close the circuit.
💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Faulty Push-to-Start Switch
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dryer does not start at all when the button is pressed
⚠️ Intermittent starting — dryer sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't
⚠️ Must press the button multiple times before the cycle initiates
⚠️ Unusual clicking or buzzing noise when pressing the start button
Before ordering, confirm the door switch and thermal fuse are working — a blown thermal fuse or faulty door switch can mimic a bad start switch. Use a multimeter set to continuity mode: press the start button and probe the two outer terminals. You should read continuity (beep) only while the button is held. No continuity = replace this switch.
