This connector is an insulated electrical harness terminal that joins appliance wiring to restore a secure electrical connection and help prevent intermittent power or arcing. It's a direct-replacement style used on select Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides a secure, insulated connection between two wires or a wire and a component terminal.
• Helps stop intermittent power, flickering, or loss of function caused by loose or damaged terminals.
• Reduces risk of arcing and overheating at a compromised connection point.
• Matches OEM fit/shape to maintain proper routing and strain relief where applicable.

• Turn off and unplug the appliance (or shut off breaker) before inspecting or replacing electrical parts.
• Inspect surrounding wiring and terminals for heat or corrosion; replace damaged wiring as needed.
• Use proper crimping or terminal tools and secure strain relief; verify firm, no-play connections before restoring power.

• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise or premature wear
• Commonly replaced when the agitator feels loose, makes grinding noise, or causes uneven agitation

• High-level replacement: remove agitator/gear per service manual to access washer; reinstall in original orientation
• Use manufacturer torque/settings for reassembly; do not overtighten
• Inspect adjacent gear and splines for wear; replace any damaged components
• Disconnect power and follow safety procedures before servicing the washer

• A damaged or missing baffle can cause loud thumping, scraping noises, or uneven drying; replacing it addresses these common symptoms.
• Designed to match the OEM drum mounting points for proper fit and function.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing the dryer.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or drum; keep track of fasteners and take photos for reassembly.
• Use basic hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect mounting hardware and drum condition while replacing the baffle.
