Whirlpool Cabrio HE Power Button Replacement/Adapter

thingiverse

I had to replace the power button on my Whirlpool Cabrio HE Washer, model number WTW6600SW, which apparently is a pretty common problem. After watching a YouTube video, I decided not to cut out the existing button and instead tackled the repair head-on. The video showed how to fix the issue without cutting the button out, so I took it as a challenge to see if I could make it work myself. I disassembled the washer's front panel and found that the clip holding the button in place was cheaply made and had broken off. To avoid spending around $80-$120 on a replacement part from eBay, I turned to Fusion for help. Using their design software, I created a new clip that would simply snap into place, eliminating the need for a costly repair.
