• Restores proper routing to reduce wire chafing and heat exposure

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Photograph/label connections and transfer one connector at a time to match original locations
• Route along factory paths and secure with existing clips/ties; keep clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces
• Inspect mating terminals for heat damage and repair/replace affected parts before reassembly

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.

This mounting bracket secures the surface element terminal block to the cooktop. Replacing a bent or missing bracket helps keep the coil element connection aligned and stable so the burner plugs in firmly during use.

• Provides a fixed mount for the surface element receptacle beneath the burner opening
• Helps prevent the terminal block from shifting, sagging, or rotating when inserting/removing the element
• Common symptoms include a loose or wobbly receptacle, element not seating fully, or visible bracket damage/missing bracket
• Replace if the bracket is bent, broken, or cannot hold the receptacle in position

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Remove the surface element and lift/open the cooktop to access the terminal block area
• Transfer the receptacle/terminal block onto the new bracket and secure with existing hardware, ensuring correct alignment
• The element prongs insert smoothly before restoring power

This terminal block provides a secure, heat-resistant junction for appliance wiring, ensuring stable power to the connected component. Replacing a damaged or charred block restores safe operation and helps prevent arcing, intermittent power, or failure.

• Creates a solid connection point between appliance wiring and the attached component
• Insulates and separates conductors to reduce shorts and arcing
• Helps deliver consistent power for reliable performance
• Replace if the block is cracked, burned, melted, or if terminals are loose
• Common symptoms include intermittent operation, no heat/run condition, visible scorching, or a burning odor

• Disconnect power at the breaker/fuse and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Photograph or label wires; move one lead at a time to the matching terminals
• Tighten terminal screws/fasteners securely to ensure firm, low-resistance connections
• Inspect wire ends for heat damage and replace any compromised connectors with high-temperature, manufacturer-approved fittings

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

The Range Surface Element Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This harness routes power between the switches and surface heating elements.

Causes include continuous exposure to cooking heat, mechanical stress from opening/closing element covers, and standard wear over time.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning wire harness include:

• Inaccurate or inconsistent element temperature readings
• Elements failing to turn on or heating unevenly
• Error codes related to element malfunctions

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

This fuse holder secures and connects a replaceable inline fuse to the appliance's electrical circuit, restoring overcurrent protection and helping prevent damage from short circuits or power surges. What it does:

• Holds and connects a replaceable fuse in the appliance's electrical circuit
• Completes the fuse's electrical connection so current flows through the protective element
• Replaces a cracked, burnt, or loose holder that causes intermittent power or blown fuses
• Helps restore proper overcurrent protection when the fuse itself is intact

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Inspect nearby wiring and connectors; replace any damaged components to ensure a secure connection.
