Kenmore Elite Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances, typically used for connecting house power to various electrical appliances like ranges and dryers. This kit includes includes screws, nuts, and a unique terminal block. It plays a critical role in the power supply system by providing a reliable connection point for the appliance's main power cord, preventing loose connections and potential electrical hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Terminal Block Kit include:

• Signs of burning or melting at the connection points,
• Flickering power or intermittent operation of the appliance,
• A burning smell from the appliance area.

Causes of terminal block failure often involve loose connections that can lead to arcing and overheating, improper installation, or general wear and tear that degrades the integrity of the electrical contacts.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire stoves. It includes all the necessary terminals needed to ensure connections are securely made in the stove's electrical system. As a distribution point, the terminal block facilitates connections between internal stove components and external power.  

Causes of a faulty terminal block can include worn terminals that no longer grip wires firmly, or compromised insulation that allows shorts over time. Without proper connections, stove functions may be disrupted.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Intermittent or complete burner/oven failures  
• Buzzing or humming electrical noises
• Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses
• Visible damage or corrosion on terminal connections

It is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore branded models as well.

This moisture sensor connector assembly links the dryer's sensor bars to the control to monitor fabric dryness and adjust cycle time. Replacing a damaged or loose harness restores consistent Auto Dry operation.

• Connects the moisture sensor bars to the main control for Auto Dry feedback
• Transmits the low-voltage signal used to determine when clothes are dry
• Failure may cause Auto Dry to end too soon, run too long, or deliver inconsistent results
• Typical issues include broken wires, loose/corroded terminals, or a heat-damaged plug

• Disconnect power; if gas, shut off gas supply before service
• Access the moisture sensor area at the front/lint housing
• Match routing and clips, seat terminals fully on the sensor tabs, and secure the connector
• Keep wiring clear of sharp edges and moving parts; reassemble and test a Sensor Dry cycle

This motor wire harness links the washer's drive motor to the main control, carrying power and signal connections so the drum can start and regulate spin/tumble. Replacing a damaged harness restores reliable motor operation and helps prevent intermittent faults.

• Carries power and control signals between the main PCB and the drive motor
• Ensures secure, keyed connections at the motor and control board
• Drum won't spin or tumble, or stops mid-cycle
• Intermittent motor operation, humming, or "LE" motor error on some models
• Visible heat damage, broken wires, or loose/burned connectors

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any capacitors on the control to discharge
• Access the harness by removing the rear or top panel per your model's service information
• Photograph routing and reuse all clips/ties; keep wiring clear of the rotor/drum and sharp edges
• Seat connectors fully (keyed plugs only fit one way); do not force, and secure all strain reliefs

This multi-connector wiring harness routes power and control signals between internal components for reliable appliance operation. Replacing a damaged harness restores secure electrical connections and helps resolve intermittent or lost-function symptoms. What it does:

• Links control board and internal components using multiple connector plugs for correct signal and power distribution.
• Commonly replaced for intermittent operation, loss of specific functions, or visible damaged/burned wiring.
• Ensures connector-to-connector fit to prevent loose connections and arcing that can cause faults.
• Works as a direct replacement harness where the original wiring assembly is damaged or connectors are worn.

• Disconnect power (unplug or turn off circuit breaker) before accessing internal wiring.
• Note connector positions and routing before removal; swap one connector at a time to avoid miswiring.
• Do not force connectors; align pins and push until fully seated. Replace any damaged retaining clips.
• After installation, restore power and test all functions before reassembling panels.
