Product Description

The General Electric wh12x10496 is an OEM push button switch assembly designed as a direct replacement for GE washing machines. This component controls one or more wash cycle or function selections, translating mechanical button input into electrical signals that communicate with the washer control system. It is installed by appliance technicians or experienced trade professionals performing washer diagnostics and repair. The wh12x10496 is a factory-original part, meaning it meets the same design and performance standards as the component it replaces.
