This relay is used on multiple types of appliances: Ranges, Cooktops, Wall Ovens, Washers and Dryers.

This motor connector housing is the molded body that holds the motor's wire terminals for a secure, insulated connection. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged housing helps restore reliable motor operation and prevent intermittent power issues.

• Organizes and insulates the motor's wiring terminals
• Locks the harness to the motor for a firm electrical connection
• Helps reduce loose contacts, arcing, and heat damage at the plug
• If the housing is failing, you may see intermittent or no motor operation, the machine stopping mid-cycle, or visible melting/discoloration at the motor connector

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Note wire positions; transfer terminals into the new housing one at a time to maintain orientation
• Inspect terminals and wiring; replace any burnt or loose terminals before reassembly
• Ensure the connector seats fully on the motor and the harness is secure; restore power and test
