• Provides a secure pass-through/mounting point for the element/wire connection
• Helps prevent arcing, shorting, and localized heat damage at the connection
• Typical symptoms: visible cracks or burn marks on the insulator, tripped breaker, intermittent or no heat due to a compromised connection

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access the terminal area; label or photograph wiring to ensure correct reassembly
• Transfer wires one at a time; reuse existing hardware if serviceable and tighten connections securely
• Inspect nearby wire ends/connectors and replace any that are heat-damaged or brittle

This part has been discontinued and is no longer avaialble.

This terminal block provides the electrical connection point between the washer's power cord and the appliance wiring, restoring a secure, stable supply for safe operation. It replaces a damaged or corroded connection assembly. What it does

• Secures and insulates power cord wires where they enter the washer to prevent loose connections and arcing
• Restores reliable incoming power when a burned, loose, or broken terminal causes intermittent power or no power
• 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
• If you see melted insulation or other wiring damage, replace affected wiring.

A replacement mounting screw used to secure appliance panels and components. This genuine-style fastener restores proper fit and prevents loose or rattling parts for many Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or components to the appliance frame
• Restores secure attachment when original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling, vibration noise, and loose-fitting parts
• Matches OEM fit and function when the correct part number is used

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.

• 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

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.
