Whirlpool Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

The Light Socket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool range hoods. It is a component that holds and provides electrical connections for the light bulb(s) within the range hood. The light socket ensures proper illumination, allowing you to clearly see the cooking surface below.

Symptoms of a bad Light Socket include:

• Range hood lights not turning on or flickering
• Visible signs of burning, melting, or damage to the socket
• Difficulty inserting or securing the light bulb in the socket
• Electrical arcing or sparks coming from the socket area

Causes of a bad light socket can include electrical faults, such as short circuits or voltage surges, physical damage from impact or exposure to heat and moisture, and general wear and tear over time. A faulty socket can prevent the range hood lights from functioning correctly.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore range hood models. 

This electrical terminal connects a wire to a matching male/female connector on the appliance, restoring a secure circuit connection and helping prevent intermittent power or signal loss. Use when a damaged or corroded terminal causes poor contact. What it does:

• Provides a secure electrical connection between a wire and the appliance wiring harness or component
• Replaces bent, corroded, or loose terminals that can cause intermittent operation or no power to a component
• Restores reliable contact to prevent arcing and heat buildup at the connection
• Works with compatible wire gauges and mating connectors to maintain circuit continuity

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing terminals to avoid shock or injury
• Verify wire routing and match the terminal orientation before crimping or installing
• Use proper crimping or soldering techniques and the correct-size terminal for the wire gauge
• Inspect mating connectors and replace any that are damaged or corroded for a long-lasting repair

This 15-way terminal plug provides the wire-to-wire connection used on select appliance control assemblies, restoring secure electrical connections and reliable signal/power routing. Fits into the matching terminal block for proper electrical contact. What it does:

• Re-establishes a 15-position connector between wiring harness and control/terminal block
• Helps stop intermittent operation caused by loose, damaged, or corroded plug connections
• Ensures correct routing of power and control signals when mating terminals are secure
• Used wherever a 15-way plug interface is specified on the appliance wiring harness

• One 15-way terminal plug

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle terminals and wires gently to avoid bending or damaging contacts
• Confirm plug orientation and full seating into the mating terminal block during installation
• If mating terminals or wiring are damaged or corroded, replace those components as well
