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.

Wobbly but Usable
Color: Grey, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
A bit wobbly, but good enough for the price when you need a solid background for remote work calls.

Nice and easy to assemble
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
I absolutely love this 4-panel room divider! It was super easy to assemble — I had it set up in just a few minutes. The material isn’t too see-through, which gives just the right amount of privacy while still letting some light through. It does exactly what I needed it to do and looks so clean and sleek in my space. Perfect balance of style and function — highly recommend!

Sturdy, Easy to Use, and Great for Privacy
Color: Black, Size: 88" W, Color: Black, Size: 88" W
This room divider is exactly what I needed! The metal frame feels very sturdy and stable, and the wider bases keep it from tipping over easily. The fabric provides great privacy and blocks light much better than expected. I also love how lightweight and foldable it is, making it easy to move around or store when not in use. Assembly was simple and only took a short time with the included instructions. Overall, it looks great, feels high quality, and works perfectly for creating a private space at home. Highly recommend!

Not bad
Color: Grey, Size: 88" W
Claims to be non see through but you can, easy to assemble but instructions aren't good. Decent money value, quality is okay. Good fit, not very sturdy.
