This power cord plate covers and secures the oven/range power cord where it enters the appliance, keeping the connection protected and helping prevent strain on the cord. It restores a finished look and helps keep wiring safely routed. What it does:

• Covers the terminal block area to protect power connections from dirt and accidental contact
• Helps keep the power cord routed and secured to reduce strain on the cord and terminals
• Can prevent air/dust intrusion behind the control cavity that could affect components
• Common replacement when the original plate is cracked, broken, or missing

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Typically attaches with two screws; keep screws and any gaskets from the old piece for reuse if undamaged
• Check the cord strain relief/terminal connections while replacing the plate; do not touch live terminals
• If wiring or the cord itself is damaged, replace or repair those parts per manufacturer instructions

The On/Off Rotary Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool trash compactors. This kit includes the rotary switch and necessary components to control the power and operation of the trash compactor, allowing users to turn the unit on and off easily.

Causes of a bad rotary switch can include electrical wear and tear, damage from repeated use, or issues with the internal contacts. Over time, these factors can lead to the switch becoming unresponsive or failing to control the compactor properly.

Symptoms of a bad rotary switch include:

• The trash compactor not turning on or off
• Intermittent operation of the compactor
• The switch feeling loose or unresponsive
• Electrical sparking or unusual noises from the switch area

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This switch nut secures a rotary control or switch to the appliance's front panel. Replacing a stripped or missing nut keeps the control stable so the knob turns smoothly and the shaft stays properly aligned.

• Clamps the switch/control to the panel to prevent movement or rotation
• Helps maintain correct knob alignment with dial markings
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly knob, switch rotates in the panel, missing/damaged nut
• Often needed after service if the original nut is stripped or lost

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing
• Remove the knob and any decorative escutcheon; thread the new nut onto the switch bushing from the front of the panel
• Support the switch from behind while tightening; do not overtighten to avoid panel or switch damage
• Restore power and test control operation
