Kenmore / Sears Range Hood Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

The Light Socket is an OEM replacement part for Broan range hoods. This electrical fitting provides a power connection point for light fixtures above stovetops. A faulty socket jeopardizes safe operation.

Causes of a bad socket can include loose wire connections allowing arcing or shorts, moisture intrusion corroding terminals, or cracking of plastic insulation. 

Symptoms of a bad light socket include: 

• Intermittent or non-functioning lights  
• Warm socket housing or abnormal smells/sounds
• Tripped breakers or blown fuses servicing the range hood

This OEM component fits additional brands like Thermador, Viking, and some Kenmore range hood models using equivalent Broan designs.

This crimp connector provides a secure, solder-free electrical splice for appliance wiring, helping restore reliable power connections and reduce the risk of intermittent operation or arcing. Designed for use in appliance electrical repairs. What it does:

• Joins two or more wires with a compression-style electrical connection
• Restores continuity for circuits showing intermittent power or loose wiring
• Helps prevent arcing and overheating at a damaged or corroded terminal
• Works with standard wire-stripping and crimping procedures

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify with a meter
• Strip wire insulation to the correct length, insert fully, and crimp with a proper crimping tool
• Inspect the crimp and any insulation for a solid, strain-relieved connection
• Cut back to clean wire before crimping
