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.
