W10117655 WPW10117655 Dryer Push-to-Start Switch

Key Features

  • Precision Momentary Contact: Engineered with a high-durability internal spring mechanism that provides the momentary electrical "pulse" required to engage the motor relay and initiate the drying cycle.
  • Silver-Alloy Terminals: Features two 1/4-inch male spade connectors coated in a corrosion-resistant alloy, ensuring a low-resistance connection and preventing the "pitting" that often leads to switch failure.
  • High-Impact Heat-Stabilized Housing: Manufactured from a premium polymer designed to withstand the vibration and ambient heat of the dryer console without warping or cracking.
  • Tactile Feedback Design: Provides a distinct, audible "click" upon activation, allowing for confirmed cycle starts and reducing the likelihood of partial contact that can arc and damage the switch.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Primary Part: W10117655, WPW10117655.
  • Industry Standards: PS11748542, EAP11748542.
  • Legacy Cross-Reference: 1448106, AH1491565, EA1491565, PS1491565.

Compatibility & Fitment

This start switch is the standard ignition component for dozens of dryer series produced by Whirlpool. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits hundreds of YWED, WED, and MED series models (e.g., YWED4815EW1, YWED4915EW1, MEDC215EW).
  • Kenmore (110 Series): Compatible with many 110-prefix models produced by Whirlpool (e.g., 110.60022010, 110.70022010).
  • Crosley, Amana, & Roper: Direct fit for dozens of CDE, NED, and RED series budget-friendly dryers.
  • Admiral & Inglis: Compatible with standard top-lint-filter dryers utilizing a mechanical push-to-start system.
  • Note: This is a 2-terminal switch. Verify your terminal count before ordering, as some models utilize a 3-terminal variant.

When to Replace

  • Dryer Won't Start: You turn the timer knob, the door is closed, and you push the button, but nothing happens.
  • Intermittent Starting: You have to push the button multiple times or hold it in a specific way to get the motor to catch.
  • No "Click" Sound: The button feels "mushy" or stays stuck in the "in" position, indicating the internal spring has snapped.
  • Burning Smell in Console: Localized overheating at the terminals can cause the plastic housing to melt, creating a distinct electrical odor.
  • Continuity Failure: The switch fails to show continuity on a multimeter when the button is actively pressed.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: You MUST unplug the dryer. Working inside the console involves exposed 120V and 240V terminals.
  • Access the Switch: Remove the screws securing the back of the control console. The switch is usually held in place by two small tabs; press them inward to pop the switch out.
  • Terminal Transfer: Use needle-nose pliers to move the wires one at a time from the old switch to the new W10117655 to ensure they stay in the correct position.
  • Check the Knob: Ensure your plastic Start Knob isn't cracked. If the knob is stripped, it won't be able to apply enough pressure to the switch.
  • Tighten Connectors: If the wire terminals feel loose when you push them onto the new switch, use your pliers to gently squeeze the female connectors for a tighter grip.

Nice tire sealant.
Size: 32 oz
This seems to work very well. I will say that it seems to be pretty important to move the wheel around as soon as you can to distribute the product within the tire. I was held up for a few minutes and the Liqui tube seemed to start to set up in one spot and made the tire out of balance so I had to work quick to get it to distribute to the other parts of the tire. It seems to have worked though and so far the tires are holding air very well. I will be interested to see if it lasts for a long time but so far so good.

This stuff works!
Size: 32 oz
I was sceptical but wanted to avoid replacing 2 rear tires on my zero turn mower. The tires were leaking air and had bad sidewall cracking. I found the use of the product to be easy and quick. I aired up the tires and rode around the yard a few minutes to distribute the product in the tires. It has been 4 days and both tires remain aired up. Previously both tires would already be flat within this timeframe. Excellent results for me!

Doesn’t work for a car Tire seal slow leak
Size: 16 oz
Does not work for a car tire. Had a slow rim seal leak. Out 32oz in still leaks the same. Do not buy. I got the one with fibers in it. It worked just fine. This does not work. Period. $30 wasted actually I purchased two so I wasted $60 when I could’ve bought probably a new tire
