• Helps prevent electrical resistance and heat buildup at the cord connection
• Matches OEM mounting and terminal layout for a direct replacement

• One terminal block assembly as shown

• Disconnect the washer from power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect wire colors and terminal positions, then transfer wires to the same terminals on the replacement part
• Typical installation requires basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver); some models may need partial cabinet access
