FIXED Kenmore Washer 110.45986404 Start Button

Model Number

110.45986404

Brand

Sears Kenmore

Age

More than 10 years

Start button on Kenmore HE4, model 110.45986404, only works when pressing at around 5 or 6 o'clock. Pushing center or anywhere else and nothing. Will replacing the Washer Push Buton (Part #8181677) correct this or do I need to change the control panel (Part #8182251) or something completely different?

You'd need to unplug the washer, then remove the control panel to see if that start button itself is broken or not.

That start button part number 8181677 you posted is incorrect.

This is the correct start button for your model:

Also the control panel part number 8182251 is incorrect, you'd need the user interface below if the start button is not broken.

Here's the user interface for your model:

Unfortunately, its No Longer Available.

A belated thank you for your post. Used “correct” part found and I installed it yesterday. Working just fine. Appreciate the help.

Excellent Marty, glad to hear the correct start button I posted the link to above in post #2 fixed it.

Thanks for the update!
