The Whirlpool W10180780 Washer Cycle Switch is an essential component found on your washing machine's control panel. This knob/button interface lets you select the laundry wash cycle that you want. Certain electrical connections in the switch are activated when you turn the knob or push a button. The pre-programmed washing cycles that regulate the temperature of the water, the speed of the agitation, and the length of the spin cycle are represented by these contacts. A broken cycle switch could be the reason for your cycle selections or if it is stuck on a specific cycle. You may get control back and use all of the wash cycles on your Whirlpool washer by replacing a broken switch.
