Amana Range ARDS802E Element will not heat

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

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