Restore proper start-circuit performance in your laundry appliance with the genuine OEM Part WP 3395382. This push-to-start (PTS) switch is the control that allows your dryer or washer to initiate the cycle when you press the button. If your machine fails to start, thinks the start button is depressed, or has an intermittently non-responsive push button, this component may be the culprit. Whirlpool Parts+2Reliable Parts+2
