Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
The push-to-start switch activates the dryer when pressed and released. Compatible with select dryer models, this part ensures proper functionality. Verify fitment before ordering, as similar parts may have slight variations. Disconnect power before installation and use protective gloves.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Easy Repair. New Switch works well
This repair was a no brainer. Switch defective.
I have a few other Whirlpool appliances and find it impossible to obtain Service Manuals or
decent Schmatic diagrams.

I turned the large "setting knob" on the left side of the dryer top counterclockwise and now the dryer will not turn on. I must have broken the switch somehow.
What part do I need and how easy is it to repair?
For model number NED4700YQ0
Hi Gil, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the timer, part number PS11754717, as it is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. To repair this issue, you may need to first remove the timer knob. After that, remove the rear panel by unthreading the screws that attach it to the control panel. After removing the rear panel, you can access the timer easily to replace it. We hope this helps!
Does this part also do for a push start button when I look at the diagram it does not seem to be a push button but rather a turning button
For model number YWED4850HW0
Hello Pierre, thank you for your question. We can confirm this part is a Push to Start Switch PS11754857. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.
