A factory-style wire harness assembly that routes power and signals between components to restore reliable electrical connections. Replaces damaged or frayed wiring to help fix intermittent operation, no-power issues, or control faults. What it does

• Delivers power and control signals between major components so circuits function as designed.
• Replaces broken, melted, or corroded wiring that can cause intermittent operation or component failure.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as no power to modules, controls that don't respond, or appliances that start and stop unexpectedly.
• Provides factory-style connectors for a direct-fit replacement when the original harness is defective.

• One complete wire harness assembly as shown.

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or shut off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Route wires and secure connectors exactly as the original to avoid pinching or heat exposure.

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• 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
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed
