I first disconnected the power by unplugging power cord.
I then removed back cover from control panel using philips screwdriver.
I removed the start switch by twisting it counter clockwise.
I removed the two push on connectors from the start switch.
I installed the two connectors on the new switch.
I twisted the new switch into place, and installed the new knob.
I reinstalled the back cover plate.
I inserted the power cord back into the receptacle.
I twisted the start knob clockwise.
VOILA!!!!!
