This Part Fixes These Problems

Dryer Won't Start

Press the start button and nothing happens — drum stays still, no motor sound. A failed push-to-start switch is the most common cause of this symptom.

Dryer Stops When Button Released

Dryer only runs while you hold the start button and stops the moment you release it, indicating the switch is not latching the circuit closed.

Intermittent Starting

Dryer sometimes starts normally and other times requires multiple button presses or a long delay before responding — a sign of a failing switch with worn contacts.

Cycle End Buzzer Malfunction

The cycle-end signal buzzer cannot be turned on or off because this switch also controls the buzzer rotation function, not just the start action.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know If Your Start Switch Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Pressing the start button does nothing — no drum movement, no motor hum

⚠️ Dryer only runs while you hold the button and stops immediately upon release

⚠️ Intermittent starting — sometimes works, sometimes requires repeated button presses

⚠️ Cycle-end buzzer stuck on or off and cannot be toggled by rotating the knob

🛠 Diagnostic Tip: Before replacing, unplug the dryer and test the switch with a multimeter set to continuity/ohms. Press the button — a good switch reads near 0 ohms. A reading above 1 ohm or no change at all confirms the switch has failed. Also rule out a blown thermal fuse first, as it is another common cause of a no-start condition on these dryer platforms.

Questions & Answers

Will W10117655 work on my Maytag gas dryer model MGDC400BW1?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes! W10117655 is a confirmed fit for the MGDC400BW1 Maytag gas dryer. This switch is cross-compatible across Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and Crosley platforms that share the same control panel architecture. Always verify your full model number before ordering.
How do I test the old switch before buying a replacement?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Unplug the dryer first. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness, set your multimeter to continuity or resistance (ohms) mode, and probe the two terminals while pressing the button. A good switch should read close to 0 ohms (continuity) when pressed and open (no continuity) when released. A reading of 1 ohm or more when pressed indicates a worn switch that should be replaced.
How many terminals does this push-to-start switch have?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
The W10117655 switch features a 4-terminal design (some sources also reference a 2-terminal electrical circuit configuration for the start function). It uses a triangle-shaped release tab for panel mounting and is rated at 120V, 10A, 1/2 HP, 50/60 Hz. All terminal positions match the OEM WPW10117655 exactly for plug-and-play installation.
My dryer runs fine when the timer is manually turned, but pressing start does nothing — is this definitely the switch?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This is a classic symptom of a failed push-to-start switch. However, before ordering, also check the thermal fuse — a blown thermal fuse is another very common reason a dryer won't respond to the start button even when the timer runs. Test both with a multimeter. If the thermal fuse has continuity and the start switch does not, replace the switch. If the thermal fuse is open, replace the fuse first.
Is this an easy DIY repair? What tools do I need?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Absolutely — this is one of the most beginner-friendly dryer repairs available. Most customers complete it in 5–15 minutes. You will need a flathead screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 1/4-inch nut driver. No soldering or special skills required. Simply unplug the dryer, remove the control panel, swap the switch, reconnect the harness, and reassemble. Our part is a direct drop-in replacement requiring zero modifications.
