The Jumper Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. Located internally throughout the frame, jumper wires provide electrical connectivity between control circuit boards to power critical functions.
Symptoms of a bad jumper wire include:
- Intermittent or incomplete wash cycles
- Error codes displayed related to control systems
- Buzzing noises emanating from internal components
- Inoperable features like heating or water valves
Causes of jumper wire failure are often fraying, cracking or breakage of fragile conductive strands from continuous vibrational motion over many usage cycles. Physical kinks or pinches during repairs can also impair connectivity.
Compatible models also include those by Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and Kenmore.
