• Works with control boards and wiring harness assemblies where a factory jumper is used.

• One jumper electrical connector.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before service to avoid shock or damage.
• Use insulated tools as needed and make secure, tight terminal connections to prevent arcing.
