Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

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

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for GE electric ranges. It serves as a critical junction point where the range's wiring connects to the heating elements, ensuring proper electrical flow and operation of the oven and cooktop. This component is essential for the safe and efficient functioning of your appliance.

Causes of a bad terminal block can include overheating due to electrical surges, corrosion from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture, or physical damage from improper installation or handling.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• The oven or burners not heating properly
• Visible signs of burn marks or corrosion on the block
• Electrical arcing or sparking
• Intermittent or no power to the heating elements

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Replacement wiring harness that connects control electronics to internal components, restoring proper electrical connections and reliable operation. Use when factory wiring is damaged, loose, or causing intermittent component failures. What it does:

• Routes power and signal between the appliance control board and internal components.
• Restores continuity when broken, frayed, or corroded wires cause intermittent or no operation.
• Can resolve symptoms such as non-responsive controls, lights or fans not running, or intermittent component operation.
• Keeps wiring neat and secured along original routing to prevent rubbing and stress.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Match connector shapes and pin counts; route harness along original clips and pathways to avoid pinch points.
• Inspect mating connectors and terminals for damage or corrosion before reconnecting.

Burner not heating or works intermittently? This receptacle block connects the heating element to power. Typical DIY repair takes about 1 hour.

Fixes arcing, intermittent power, or complete failure caused by a damaged terminal block. Restores safe electrical connections in your cooktop or range.

This clip secures the appliance's terminal block to the chassis, keeping wiring stable and preventing strain on electrical connections. It's a small, durable mounting clip used where the terminal block needs a fast, reliable hold. What it does:

• Holds the terminal block firmly to the appliance frame to reduce wire movement and wear
• Helps maintain safe, stable electrical connections by preventing strain on terminal wires
• Prevents the terminal block from shifting during use or service
• Compatible with standard terminal block locations that use a push-in or snap-mount clip

• One terminal block mounting clip

• Always disconnect power before accessing or servicing electrical components
• Remove access panels and locate the terminal block; clip typically snaps into a chassis slot or aligns with an existing mounting boss
• Handle wiring and terminals gently to avoid loosening connections; verify all wires are secure after reinstall

Burner not heating or heating intermittently? This surface element wire harness connects switches to heating elements. DIY repair takes about 30 minutes.

If your cooktop won't heat or power on, a damaged terminal block may be the cause. This connection point transfers power to heating elements.
