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.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions and don't let them off the hook
Asurion is counting on the fact that you don't know how to read. They made the claim process aggravating and as difficult as possible. I CAN read and had to review the terms and conditions with them on the phone and threaten to involve an attorney before they would honor the coverage. They tried to say my product was not portable, when the word "portable" is literally in the name of the product. Then they tried to say the the accidental drop was not covered, but it clearly states in the terms and conditions that an accidental drop and a cracked screen is a covered event. I buy the coverage almost every time I am offered it, but I will be rethinking that going forward and Amazon should consider finding a different company to issue the protection plans for their products because I fear this is the beginning of a lot of complaints. I have filed a claim in the past and it was very straightforward and easy, but they must have a new company managing the plans now, because it was anything but easy. If I was an older person who was not tech savy, or who just took someone's word at face value, I would be out the cost of my item and the protection plan. BUYER BEWARE

Cover yourself!
My HP printer just stopped printing. Spent over 4 1/2 with HP Support doing all kinds of technical experiments with even the most complex Factory Restarts, this printer kept saying everything was working but it wouldn't print. HP finally declared it a hardware defective; told I needed a new printer and to recycle this one (less than 1 1/2 years old - don't make like they used to!). Called Asurion, who immediately processed a claim and arranged for a pickup of the defective printer since I can't drive. Fast quality service worth every penny if you're buying any kind of devices in today's world.

Asurion is a great protection plan.
Asurion is a great product. I purchased a 3-piece cordless phones in 2022 and added the Asurion protection. Just recently the phones went out. I contacted Asurion and within 2 hours I had a gift card deposited in my Amazon account. I purchased new phones with the gift card and of course added the Asurion protection. I highly recommend Asurion protection plan.

Glad we got it! And will most definitely buy it for our future products!
Great experience! We always bought Asurion Protection on a lot of our electronics to be on the cautious side. We recently had one of those electronics give out on its 3rd year, and we luckily had purchased the Asurion Protection Plan. The claims process was easy, took less than 5 minutes. I packaged the electronic the following day and dropped it off with the shipping label they gave me. I received a full refund of my product within hours of having the returned item dropped off. I am glad we bought Asurion Protection for our other electronics, and will continue to buy it for our future products (not just electronics). Very pleased with how fast and reliable they were, and enjoying the comfort of knowing our products are protected.
