Symptoms of a bad power cord include:

• Intermittent function or failure to start due to loose connections
• Tripped circuit breaker following appliance connection  
• Buzzing or humming issuing from cord during use

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and Admiral dryers.
