Frigidaire 137493700 Dryer Push-to-start Switch Oem

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 137493700 is a genuine OEM push-to-start switch designed for use in residential electric and gas dryers. When pressed, the switch closes its internal contacts and sends a signal to the control system to begin supplying power to the drive motor and heating elements, initiating the selected drying cycle. This is a direct-replacement part sourced from the original equipment manufacturer, meaning it meets the same electrical specifications and form factor as the component it replaces. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this switch as part of control panel repairs when the dryer fails to start or responds inconsistently to the start button.

This switch fits into the dryer control panel assembly and connects directly to the wiring harness via dedicated terminals. It is intended for residential dryer applications where the original push-to-start switch has failed due to worn internal contacts, broken actuator, or electrical fault. The part is applicable to Frigidaire-branded dryers and platforms that share this component, making it a common service part for appliance repair technicians handling laundry equipment.

Installation Notes

This part is typically installed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Discharge any residual electrical energy and confirm power is off with a multimeter before handling internal components. Consult the dryer wiring diagram and service manual for proper terminal placement when reconnecting the wiring harness.
