Parts for Maytag AR141B14: 01 - Glass Cartridge Parts

This surface heating element restores reliable heat to a cooktop burner. Replace a failed or damaged element to bring back even, responsive heating performance and consistent temperature control for everyday cooking.

• Converts electrical power into heat for one cooktop burner
• Common fix for a burner that won't heat or only heats intermittently
• Can address uneven heating or erratic cycling at a set temperature
• Appropriate when the element shows visible damage or burned spots

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access varies by model; lifting the cooktop or removing the glass top may be required
• Handle the element carefully and avoid stressing the heating surfaces
• Move wires one at a time to matching terminals; ensure all connections are secure before reassembly

Size: 8 inch. 2000 watt

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This contact spade is a push-on electrical terminal used to connect an appliance wire lead to a component's blade. Replacing a worn or heat-damaged connector restores a secure fit and consistent power flow.

• Creates a reliable electrical connection between a wire lead and a flat spade terminal on a component
• Helps prevent arcing, heat build-up, and intermittent power caused by loose or burned terminals
• Common symptoms include: component won't power or heat, intermittent operation, visible discoloration or melting at the connector
• Direct replacement for a damaged or fatigued push-on terminal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match the size/orientation to the original terminal and replace any discolored or heat-damaged wiring/insulation
• Use an appropriate crimp tool to attach the terminal to the wire lead; ensure a firm crimp
• Push fully onto the mating blade for a tight, secure connection

This hex-head sheet metal screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and trim for a tight, rattle-free fit. Replace missing or stripped fasteners to keep covers and components firmly in place and restore proper alignment.

• Fastens sheet-metal parts, brackets, and trim using a hex drive
• Replaces worn, rusted, missing, or stripped screws
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling from loose panels
• Common signs you need this fastener: head or threads stripped, screw won't tighten, panel or handle coming loose

• Unplug the appliance before service; turn off water supply if working near water lines
• Use the correct nut driver or socket to avoid rounding the head
• Replace one fastener at a time to maintain alignment; do not overtighten
• Match screw type/length to the original location as specified by the manufacturer

This plastic terminal block insulator protects the dryer's power terminal area by covering exposed connections and helping prevent accidental shorts or arcing. Replaces a cracked or melted insulator to restore basic electrical protection at the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and insulates the terminal block to reduce risk of electrical shorts and arcing
• Keeps wiring routed and separated at the power connection point
• Helps prevent damage from heat or contact that can lead to melting or sparking
• Commonly replaced when the original insulator is cracked, burned, or deformed

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off house circuit) before servicing electrical components.
• Inspect terminal block and wiring for heat damage; replace damaged wires or terminals as needed.
• Ensure terminals are cool and dry before reinstalling the insulator; seat it fully over the block for proper protection.
