Parts for Kenmore 8331: Top And Console Parts

This cable tie secures wiring and the power cord to the appliance chassis to help prevent chafing, pinching, or loose connections. Simple, low-cost part that restores proper wire routing and strain relief. What it does

• Holds wiring and harnesses in place to prevent rubbing against sharp edges
• Helps reduce risk of intermittent power or connector strain caused by loose wires
• Keeps harnesses routed for correct clearance and component access
• Useful during repairs to restore original wire routing and strain relief

• One cable tie (wire harness retainer)

• Safety first: disconnect the appliance from power before inspecting or replacing wiring components
• Remove the damaged or existing retainer and route harnesses to match original OEM routing before installing the new tie
• Trim excess tie tail; do not overtighten—secure, but avoid crushing wires
• Replace any tie that's melted, cracked, or otherwise damaged rather than reusing it

This adapter connects the appliance's water supply line to the inlet fitting, providing a secure watertight connection to restore proper water flow. Use it when the original coupling is damaged, cracked, or leaking. What it does:

• Adapts and secures a water supply/hose to the appliance inlet fitting.
• Restores a proper connection to prevent leaking at the hose junction.
• Addresses symptoms such as visible leaks, intermittent water flow, or a loose hose connection.
• Works as a direct replacement for a damaged or corroded inlet adapter.

• Turn off water supply and unplug the appliance before installing.
• Inspect seals and replace any damaged washers or O-rings; tighten fittings by hand then snug with an appropriate tool—do not overtighten.
• Check for leaks after restoring water and power; re-tighten if necessary.

This motor connector housing is the molded body that holds the motor's wire terminals for a secure, insulated connection. Replacing a cracked or heat-damaged housing helps restore reliable motor operation and prevent intermittent power issues.

• Organizes and insulates the motor's wiring terminals
• Locks the harness to the motor for a firm electrical connection
• Helps reduce loose contacts, arcing, and heat damage at the plug
• If the housing is failing, you may see intermittent or no motor operation, the machine stopping mid-cycle, or visible melting/discoloration at the motor connector

• Disconnect power; also shut off gas supply
• Note wire positions; transfer terminals into the new housing one at a time to maintain orientation
• Inspect terminals and wiring; replace any burnt or loose terminals before reassembly
• Ensure the connector seats fully on the motor and the harness is secure; restore power and test
