Kenmore / Sears Washer Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

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

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

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

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. The wire harness is responsible for transmitting electrical signals that power components and allow them to communicate during each cycle.

Causes of a bad wire harness can be normal wear and tear over time, pinched or cut wires, or wire insulation breakdown due to heat or moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Lights or display not working properly
• Washer not starting cycles
• Sensors or switches malfunctioning
• Intermittent operation

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

This three-circuit connector housing organizes and protects terminals in an appliance wiring harness. It provides a secure, insulated plug connection to help prevent loose contacts, heat damage, and intermittent operation when the original housing is cracked or melted. What it does:

• Holds three wiring terminals in the correct orientation for a mating connector
• Insulates and locks terminals to reduce arcing and overheating at the plug
• Replaces cracked, brittle, or heat-damaged connector housings
• Symptoms can include intermittent power, burnt odor near the connector, discoloration/melting, or a plug that won't stay latched

• 1 three-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Note wire/terminal positions and transfer them one at a time into the new housing
• Inspect terminals; replace any that are discolored, loose, or damaged. Use the correct crimp tool/terminals specified for your model
• Fully seat each terminal until it locks and the connector latch engages securely

This lower wiring harness connects the washer's VMax 2.0 drain pump to the lower control components, restoring reliable electrical connections for proper pump operation and consistent drain cycles. What it does:

• Routes power and signal between the VMax 2.0 drain pump and the washer's lower control assembly.
• Replaces frayed, pinched, or damaged wiring that can cause the pump to run intermittently or not at all.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as no-drain conditions, intermittent pumping, or pump-related error codes.
• Matches original connector ends and routing to fit the factory wiring path.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs.
• Access the harness by removing the washer's appropriate access panels per the service manual.
• Follow the original wire routing and fully seat all connectors; avoid pinching or stretching the harness.

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.

The Wire Harness is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a crucial component that acts as the electrical wiring system, connecting various components and allowing them to communicate and transfer power effectively.

Symptoms of a bad Wire Harness include:

• Washer not powering on or receiving electricity
• Specific components or functions not working correctly
• Error codes or warning lights displayed on the control panel
• Burning smell or visible signs of electrical damage

Causes of a bad wire harness can include physical damage from impact or pinching, exposure to moisture or water, electrical surges or shorts, and general wear and tear over time. Faulty wiring can lead to connectivity issues and disrupt the proper operation of the washer's systems.

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

For mating plug use 691707.

This electrical terminal connects a wire to a matching male/female connector on the appliance, restoring a secure circuit connection and helping prevent intermittent power or signal loss. Use when a damaged or corroded terminal causes poor contact. What it does:

• Provides a secure electrical connection between a wire and the appliance wiring harness or component
• Replaces bent, corroded, or loose terminals that can cause intermittent operation or no power to a component
• Restores reliable contact to prevent arcing and heat buildup at the connection
• Works with compatible wire gauges and mating connectors to maintain circuit continuity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing terminals to avoid shock or injury
• Verify wire routing and match the terminal orientation before crimping or installing
• Use proper crimping or soldering techniques and the correct-size terminal for the wire gauge
• Inspect mating connectors and replace any that are damaged or corroded for a long-lasting repair

This 15-way terminal plug provides the wire-to-wire connection used on select appliance control assemblies, restoring secure electrical connections and reliable signal/power routing. Fits into the matching terminal block for proper electrical contact. What it does:

• Re-establishes a 15-position connector between wiring harness and control/terminal block
• Helps stop intermittent operation caused by loose, damaged, or corroded plug connections
• Ensures correct routing of power and control signals when mating terminals are secure
• Used wherever a 15-way plug interface is specified on the appliance wiring harness

• One 15-way terminal plug

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals and wires gently to avoid bending or damaging contacts
• Confirm plug orientation and full seating into the mating terminal block during installation
