This is a genuine OEM rotary start switch for your dryer. If your dryer will not start, turns off too soon, or the timer will not advance, it may be time to replace the start switch. Replacing this part is a simple repair that requires the use of a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers. Be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer before beginning this repair, as you will be working with the electrical components. Once the new switch is connected to the wiring, be sure that the locking tabs on the switch are properly engaged with the dryer console before reassembling the back panel.

This is the replacement rotary start switch for your dryer. It is silver and black in color, with a white D-shaped shaft. The rotary start switch is found inside the dryer control panel, and when actuated, it starts the dryer. Over time, the contacts inside the switch can short out, and when this happens, the dryer will not start. As you will be working around electricity, be sure to disconnect the dryer from the power source before you begin this repair. This part is sold individually and is an authentic OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
