The Wiring Harness is an OEM part for SpeedQueen dryers. The wiring harness is a network of wires that connect the dryer's electrical components, such as the temperature sensor, door switch, drum motor, and heating element. It allows these components to communicate and function together as the dryer operates.

Causes of a bad wiring harness can be wear and tear over time, cuts or abrasions to the wires from repeated movement in the dryer cavity, or wire fatigue from constant electrical current.

Symptoms of a bad wiring harness include:

• Intermittent or unreliable operation
• Certain components not functioning properly
• Error codes displaying or cycles ending prematurely
• Loose, damaged, or cracked wires

This replacement switch restores a failed or intermittent control that operates an appliance function, letting the unit respond correctly to user input. It fits behind a control panel and replaces worn or broken switches for reliable operation. What it does:

• Acts as the electrical on/off or selection control for the appliance circuit
• Re-establishes power or signal when a worn or failed switch prevents operation
• Helps stop intermittent operation, unresponsive buttons, or functions that won't engage
• Works with existing wiring and mounting for a direct replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Remove the control panel or trim to access the switch; retain fasteners for reassembly
• Transfer wires to the new switch using the same terminals; note wire positions before removal
• Test the appliance operation after reinstalling the panel and restoring power
