Jenn-Air S120 Parts

This heating element warms the wash and rinse water and helps dry dishes at the end of the cycle. Replacing a failed element restores proper temperatures, cleaning performance, and drying so cycles finish as expected.

• Heats water to target temperature during wash and rinse phases
• Aids in drying by radiating heat into the tub at cycle end
• Controlled by the dishwasher's electronics to maintain proper heat
• Common symptoms of failure: water stays cool, poor drying, extended cycle times, or a visibly broken/burned element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the dishwasher to cool before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the tub and/or beneath the unit after removing the toe panel
• Note wire positions, disconnect leads, remove retaining hardware, and carefully extract/install the element without bending it
• Ensure seals are correctly seated and tightened evenly; run a short cycle to check for leaks and heat

This wire harness, also called a contact wire assembly, restores reliable factory connections between the appliance's controls and components. Replacing a damaged harness helps resolve intermittent or failed operation caused by burnt, brittle, or loose wiring and terminals.

• Provides the electrical pathway between controls, switches, and related components
• Can help address intermittent operation or a component that won't run/respond
• Replaces wiring with burned, melted, cut, or corroded insulation/terminals
• Restores proper routing and insulation to reduce shorts, arcing, or overheating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; also shut off gas supply
• Access the harness by removing necessary panels/knobs; label or photograph connections for reference
• Route the new harness in the original clips/grommets, away from sharp edges and hot or moving parts
• Push connectors on fully until secure; reassemble and test operation

This locknut is a small threaded retaining nut used to secure rotating and stationary appliance components, helping keep assemblies tight and stable during operation. It prevents parts from loosening and reduces vibration-related issues. What it does:

• Secures shafts, pulleys, or fittings to prevent axial movement
• Keeps assemblies fastened under normal vibration and load
• Helps stop wobble, grinding, or part separation caused by a loose connection
• Works with the matching threaded stud, shaft, or fitting for a proper hold

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the matching thread size and engage threads fully; hand-start before tightening
• Tighten securely without overtightening; use the correct driver or socket for the nut
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged

This screw is a factory-style mounting fastener used to secure appliance panels and components. It replaces worn, stripped, or missing screws to restore proper fit and reduce rattling. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or trim to the appliance frame
• Keeps components aligned to prevent vibration and noise
• Replaces damaged or corroded fasteners that can cause loose parts
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation of moving or load-bearing assemblies

• Turn off power and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use the correct driver bit and match thread engagement to avoid stripping
• Tighten snugly but avoid over-torquing which can crack plastic or strip threads
• Wear eye protection and keep small parts away from children and pets

This band motor is the motor assembly that powers the appliance's moving band or drive link, restoring the mechanism that enables normal rotating or indexing motion. Use it to replace a worn or failed motor for smoother operation. What it does:

• Drives the appliance's band/drive link so the linked components can rotate or index as designed
• Restores motion when the original motor is noisy, weak, or no longer turns
• Helps stop skipping or intermittent movement caused by a failed motor
• Works as the direct replacement motor when the OEM part is specified

• One band motor assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Installation may require removing panels and fastening the motor to the band/drive; keep hardware for reassembly
• Verify alignment and secure belt or band tension per the appliance's service instructions

This replacement screw fastens appliance panels and components to restore secure mounting and stop rattling or loose parts. A basic, direct-fit fastener for routine repairs and reassembly. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim, or internal components to prevent movement and vibration
• Replaces missing or stripped screws that cause loose parts or rattling noises
• Restores reliable fastener retention for safe, stable operation
• Works wherever the OEM-specified screw is required for proper assembly

• Use the matching driver/socket and turn slowly to avoid stripping the head or threads
• Tighten until snug; do not over-torque to prevent damage to threads or housings
• Power off and unplug the appliance before attempting any repair
• If other fasteners or damaged mating threads are found, inspect surrounding components and replace as needed
