The Terminal Block is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is responsible for distributing electricity to key components that control drying operations.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

  • The dryer not heating up properly or failing to achieve the desired temperature
  • Components like lights or timers not functioning
  • Strange buzzing or humming noises coming from the dryer

Causes of terminal block failure can be worn or damaged wiring terminals, loose connections due to normal vibration, or corrosion buildup over several years of use.

This terminal block is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore dryer models. 

Please note: Please note that this part does not include the wires, screws, and nuts. They must be ordered separately. For the complete block assembly use 279320.

Hello Robert. Look for a burnt or broken wire and make sure there is 240 volts at the terminal block on the unit as well.

Fred V for Model Number Kenmore HE3

The dryer stops working and I can unplug the cord and wait a few minutes and it will start back up. A tech said it was the main power board but I replaced it and it does the same thing. I put the original one back in. I was checking the continuity of the cord and then from the block to the board. When I check the ground or the power on the power on the right I am getting some continuity across those 2 terminals. When the dryer is running it is acting erratic ie end of cycle buzzer going off continuiously. Will the bleeding across the block cause this?

1 Answer

Hello Fred, You will want to check to make sure that your motor is good. The cycle buzzer is in the main board but gets signal from the motor. Check the windings to make sure that you dont have a winding shorting out. Check from terminal 4 to ground, terminals 4 to 5 and terminals 4 to 6.

David C. for Model Number kenmore dryer about 10 years old.

Trying to fix dryer for my sister in law. She says its spins but does not heat up. I looked at heating element but it looks ok. Then I found the red wire that is connected to the thermal block was a little "crispy" and where it connects to the thermal block was melted. If I replace the thermal block and rewire where it is burned do you think this will fix the dryer, and will it be safe? I'm thinking she did not have the wires tightened down correctly. Thank you!

1 Answer

Hello David. Yes, if the wires and the terminal block are burnt, the unit is only getting 120 volts AC and does not heat. It will run on 120 volts. You will need to replace all the burnt components and the unit should heat properly if it is getting 240 volts AC. Hope this helps.

Hi Mike. Is the dryer motor turning? If so then the belt is either broken or not attached. The belt part # is 341241. Let us know if we can assist further. Thank you.
