FAQs

WE4M416 is used on select dryers sold under GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore, and some model listings also reference certain Haier, Monogram, and Café units. Compatibility is best confirmed by matching your dryer's model number and the original switch part number rather than brand name alone.
This switch replaces WE4M416 and cross-references to WE4M352, WE4M367, 1811209, AP4980900, PS3487190, AH3487190, and EA3487190.
This is the momentary start switch that activates the dryer when you press and release the start button. If the rest of the dryer is ready to run, the switch briefly closes the circuit to start the motor.
Typical symptoms include the dryer not starting when you press the button, needing repeated presses to start, a loose or inconsistent button feel, or a dryer that has power but does not respond to the start command. Before replacing the switch, also check that the door switch is working and that the dryer is receiving proper power.
This repair is usually straightforward for someone comfortable opening the control panel. In many dryers, the job takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You typically need to disconnect power, access the console, remove the wires from the old switch, transfer them to the new switch one at a time, and reinstall the switch. A screwdriver and possibly needle-nose pliers are commonly needed.
Unplug the dryer first. Then confirm the dryer has proper voltage, the door switch is closing correctly, and the thermal fuse or other safety devices have not opened. If the start button feels normal but the dryer is completely unresponsive, those other components should be ruled out before replacing the start switch.
Some listings describe this push-to-start switch as a 125/250V, 50/60Hz, 15A, 1/2 HP switch. As always, the safest way to verify fit is by confirming the model number and matching the part number used in your dryer.
