Kenmore / Sears Washer Dryer Combo Wire, Harness, Power Cord

The Heating Element Connecting Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, designed to provide a secure electrical connection to the dryer's heating element. This critical component ensures that the heating element receives the power it needs to generate heat for drying clothes. 

Causes of a bad heating element connecting wire can include overheating, physical damage, or wear and tear over time. These issues can lead to a loss of connectivity, resulting in the heating element failing to heat up. 

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element Connecting Wire include:

• The dryer not heating up despite having power
• Intermittent heating, suggesting a loose or faulty connection
• Unusual smells or signs of burning, indicating overheating or damage to the wire

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Includes screws and wire connectors. For the complete terminal block kit use 279320.

This replacement power cord restores the electrical connection for compatible Frigidaire appliances so they can safely receive power. Durable insulation and molded ends help ensure a secure, reliable feed to the appliance. What it does

• Provides the main AC power connection between the appliance and the household outlet.
• Replaces damaged, frayed, or burned cords that can cause power loss or unsafe conditions.
• Common symptom: appliance does not power on or loses power intermittently.
• Common symptom: visible cord damage, exposed wires, melting, or frequent tripping of a circuit breaker.

• Always disconnect the appliance from power at the breaker or unplug before installing.
• Inspect the cord routing and strain relief; replace any damaged clamps or covers.
• Tighten terminal connections securely; avoid over-torquing which can damage terminals.

This wire harness assembly routes power and signals between controls and components to restore electrical connection and appliance function. It replaces a damaged or worn harness to help recover intermittent or lost circuits. What it does:

• Carries power and control signals between console, motor, sensors and other appliance components
• Restores connectivity when wires are frayed, pinched or connectors are corroded
• Can stop intermittent operation, no-power conditions, or absent control responses caused by harness faults
• Maintains factory routing and connector fit for reliable electrical contact

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or turn off breaker) before inspecting or replacing the harness
• Compare connector shapes and wire colors to ensure correct replacement before installing
• Route harness along original clips and channels; avoid sharp edges, heat sources and pinch points
• Secure connectors firmly; if terminals or connectors are damaged, replace them rather than reusing compromised parts

This wiring harness routes power and signals between a appliance's electrical components, restoring reliable electrical connections so controls, motors, and sensors operate correctly. Designed to replace a damaged or burnt harness. What it does:

• Connects control board, switches, and motors using color-coded wires and molded connectors.
• Restores interrupted circuits that cause no-power or intermittent operation.
• Replaces frayed, burned, or corroded wiring that can create shorts or error codes.
• Helps eliminate loose or broken connector issues that lead to component failures.

• One complete wiring harness with attached connectors as shown.

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the harness to avoid shock or damage.
• Verify connector orientation and wire routing match the original harness; secure with clips/ties as needed.
• Inspect mating connectors and terminal pins for corrosion; replace or clean if needed.

This wiring assembly replaces a worn or damaged wire harness to restore electrical connections between an appliance's controls and components. It helps re-establish reliable power and signal routing for proper appliance operation. What it does:

• Routes power and signal connections between control modules, switches, sensors and major components
• Restores interrupted circuits that can cause controls to be unresponsive or the appliance to fail to start
• Replaces cracked, frayed or heat-damaged wiring that may cause intermittent operation or arcing
• Ensures proper connector fit and factory routing to prevent shorts and electrical faults

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any work
• Compare the new harness to the old one and follow original wire routing and connector orientation
• Secure harness with existing clips or fasteners; avoid contact with moving parts or hot surfaces
