Whirlpool Washer Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

Includes screws and wire connectors. For the complete terminal block kit use 279320.

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. The wire harness is responsible for transmitting electrical signals that power components and allow them to communicate during each cycle.

Causes of a bad wire harness can be normal wear and tear over time, pinched or cut wires, or wire insulation breakdown due to heat or moisture exposure.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Lights or display not working properly
• Washer not starting cycles
• Sensors or switches malfunctioning
• Intermittent operation

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

This three-circuit connector housing organizes and protects terminals in an appliance wiring harness. It provides a secure, insulated plug connection to help prevent loose contacts, heat damage, and intermittent operation when the original housing is cracked or melted. What it does:

• Holds three wiring terminals in the correct orientation for a mating connector
• Insulates and locks terminals to reduce arcing and overheating at the plug
• Replaces cracked, brittle, or heat-damaged connector housings
• Symptoms can include intermittent power, burnt odor near the connector, discoloration/melting, or a plug that won't stay latched

• 1 three-circuit connector housing

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Note wire/terminal positions and transfer them one at a time into the new housing
• Inspect terminals; replace any that are discolored, loose, or damaged. Use the correct crimp tool/terminals specified for your model
• Fully seat each terminal until it locks and the connector latch engages securely

Fix washer won't drain issues with this lower wiring harness. Restores electrical connections between drain pump and control components.

This lower wire harness routes power and signals between the control and the components beneath the tub on select 4.7/4.8-cu ft top-load washers. Replacing a damaged harness restores reliable connections and helps resolve intermittent motor or pump operation. What it does:

• Distributes power and control signals to lower-cabinet components
• Supports proper operation of the drive motor, drain pump, and related parts
• Typical symptoms: no spin or agitate, won't drain, intermittent operation, or visible heat damage/corroded connectors
• Match by part number for correct fit on 4.7/4.8-cu ft platform models

• 1 lower wire harness assembly

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing
• Access the underside per your model (tilt the washer or remove panels as required)
• Transfer one connector at a time; route along the factory path and secure with existing clips/ties away from moving parts and sharp edges
• After installation, run a diagnostic or test cycle to normal operation

Fix washer electrical failures, no power issues, or intermittent operation with this wire harness. Connects components for proper power transfer and communication.

For mating plug use 691707.

Fix intermittent power or appliance not starting with this electrical terminal connector. Restores secure wire connections when damaged terminals cause poor contact.

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
