The Harns-Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It is an assembly of wires and connectors that link internal dryer components together, allowing signals and power to flow properly through the system. 

Causes of a bad harness can include wire insulation cracking from dryer drum movement, severed conductors leading to power loss in certain circuits, or broken connectors interfering with components like motors or sensors.

Symptoms of a bad harness include:

• Inability to start or stop cycles automatically  
• Temperature fluctuations resulting in uneven drying
• Unexpected stops or failure to tumble clothes smoothly
• Activation of safety cutouts or circuit breakers

 This harness is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dryers.

• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
