Dave August 06, 2013 for Model Number 417.69042990 Is there any chance I can buy just a terminal? My block is fine, but one of the wires broke/melted just downstream of the terminal, so all I really need is a new terminal.
1 Answer Dave, we do not have the terminals available separate. You'll have to purchase the terminal block, part number 134101400. Thanks! Read More...
Alan July 14, 2013 for Model Number fse4479hos I'm replacing terminal block and would like to know location of wires by color.
Danny March 28, 2013 for Model Number gler341as1 I replaced the drum bearing, and when I plugged into the wall, the dryer caused a slight flicker in lights, and now I see the the pink wire from the terminal block looks like it is charred but not new, seems to be old. I reset the breaker and it just keeps tripping it. I assume I need to repair the terminal block but will this cause it to trip the breaker repeatedly? The plastic on the terminal block seems to be slightly melted.
1 Answer Hello Danny. You will need to check the wiring on the unit and see if any is broken, burnt or touching ground. Repair any bad spots that are found. If the terminal block is burnt, you will need to replace it as well. Read More...
Steve March 08, 2013 for Model Number CRER7900ASO I see that someone asked about dryer shorting / tripping breaker after changing heating element. You responded that heater may be grounded...how do you check for this?
1 Answer Steve, To check for a shorted heater you will want to check the heater visually to make sure that it is not touching metal casing. If it is then it would cause to trip breaker. Read More...
Marie P February 20, 2013 for Model Number 96576200 I have a kenmore dryer that I just replaced heating element. It heated for almost 30 minutes then quit blowing heat. What happens if you cross the wires and do I need a thermostat now??
1 Answer Hello Marie, If you cross a wire it can cause the element to burn out. You will want to test the element to make sure that it is still good. Also check your thermal fuses and thermostats by doing continuity checks on then to make sure that they are good. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Lonce April 14, 2012 for Model Number 41783042300 (Kenmore dryer) My dryer (about 7 or 8 years old) was running but not heating at all. When I went looking for a problem I found that the terminal block was burned out around the black wire. The black wire was melted, the block where the black wire went in was burned and melted and the power cord was melted at the terminal block. Looks like maybe the black wire insulation rubbed against one of the beveled edges of the wall until it hit wire and then shorted out. The question I have is, could this happen due to something else wrong with the dryer? Or is it most likely just a problem with the wiring at the block -- that is, if I replace the power cord and the terminal block should that fix it, or was the melting/arching more likely caused by something else? Thanks!!
1 Answer Hello Lonce. Usually the wires melt from a loose connection and can take several years sometimes to do this. You will need to repair the wires that are burnt and replace the terminal block 134101400 and the dryer cord for the dryer. Hope this helps. Read More...
