The Wiring Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It ensures proper connectivity between various parts of the electrical system.

The wiring harness provides a secure and reliable connection for power supply and communication within the refrigerator. It allows for efficient operation of the refrigerator's functions, such as temperature control, ice making, and defrosting.

A bad wiring harness can occur due to factors like wear and tear, accidental damage, or electrical faults. If you notice symptoms such as intermittent power loss, malfunctioning controls, or erratic behavior of the refrigerator, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad wiring harness include:

• Intermittent power loss
• Malfunctioning controls
• Erratic behavior of the refrigerator

Restore your Whirlpool refrigerator by replacing the faulty or damaged wiring harness with this genuine OEM part.

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

This slide temperature control is the user-access interface that moves the thermostat connection to select dryer heat levels. It restores responsive, indexed temperature selection for standard slide-style dryer controls. What it does

• Moves the internal contact to select low/medium/high heat settings for the dryer
• Replaces worn or loose slider that causes inconsistent or stuck temperature selection
• Helps correct symptoms such as inability to change heat level, intermittent temperature changes, or a slider that feels loose or won't stay in position
• Works as the mechanical interface between the console knob/lever and the dryer's control assembly

• One slide temperature control (single slider assembly)

• High-level replacement for users comfortable removing control consoles; disconnect power before service
• Handle control panel clips and trim carefully to avoid cracking plastic bezels
• Verify proper seating and alignment of the slider on the control shaft before reassembly

This O-ring seal provides a watertight seal for the appliance's water path, helping prevent leaks and maintain proper operation. Use this exact replacement when the original ring is cracked, flattened, or worn. What it does:

• Creates a pressure-tight seal at a water connection to stop drips and leaks
• Keeps water contained inside hoses, valves or pump fittings
• Restores proper sealing when the original O-ring becomes brittle or deformed
• Helps prevent water damage to cabinetry and flooring from appliance leaks

• One O-ring seal

• Turn off power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove the old O-ring and clean mating surfaces of debris and buildup
• Inspect the groove or fitting for damage; replace the part if the mating surface is scored
• If needed, use a small amount of manufacturer-recommended lubricant to ease installation and protect the O-ring
