Genuine OEM WH01X10088 Washer Start/Stop Switch Button
When a GE washer stops responding to the Start button, the button itself is often the culprit. The WH01X10088 is a genuine OEM start/stop switch button from GE — the push button on the control panel that initiates or halts a wash cycle. It makes direct contact with the start/stop switch on the control board when pressed, so a cracked or worn-out button means the cycle never gets the signal to begin.
This is an original GE part with the factory size and fit — not an aftermarket substitute. It is the button cap only, sold individually, and does not include the switch or the control board. Most repairs take 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WH01X10088 Start/Stop Switch Button is the fix for a GE washer button that is cracked, worn, stuck, or no longer triggers the wash cycle. Genuine OEM GE part, sold individually. Classic symptom: pressing Start does nothing, or the button requires far more force than it used to.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't start when I press the button. Is this the part I need?
It may be. A cracked, soft, or recessed button that no longer makes firm contact with the switch behind it will prevent the washer from starting. If the button appears undamaged, test the lid switch next — it's the more common cause of a GE washer that won't start. Some models use a small plastic lid switch probe under the lid that can be dislodged, stopping the washer even if the start button is fine.
Does this include the start/stop switch?
No. This is the button cap only. The switch it presses is a separate component located behind the control panel. If replacing the button doesn't resolve the issue, the switch itself or the control board may need to be inspected.
My old button is marked WH01X10032, WH01X10306, or WH12X10140. Will this work?
Yes. Those are earlier GE part numbers that have been superseded by WH01X10088. This is the current replacement.
How difficult is it to replace?
Rated easy. Most repairs take 15–30 minutes. Use pliers to pull out the old button and a small screwdriver to seat the new one. Take care not to push too deep — the control board and switch sit directly behind the button opening.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
Yes. WH01X10088 is a genuine OEM GE part, not an aftermarket equivalent, ensuring factory fit and specification.
Does this fit dryers as well as washers?
Yes. This button is also listed for select GE DPSE810 series electric and gas dryers, as well as PTDS650 series dryers. Confirm your dryer model number before ordering.
