W10596717 Whirlpool Wire Harness for Washing Machines

Wire Harness for Washing Machines

Whirlpool's product range encompasses several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, in addition to manufacturing components for brands like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The wire harness discussed here is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed for use in Whirlpool washing machines. It consists of a network of color-coded wires that link the machine’s electrical control module to its various parts, facilitating the flow of power and data necessary for the machine's wash cycles to function effectively.

The wire harness may experience issues due to regular wear and tear, as it is subject to continuous movement with each wash cycle. Other common problems include accidental damage such as cuts or the exposure of wires, which can lead to malfunctions.

Signs of a malfunctioning wire harness are noticeable and include:
- The washing machine failing to start or only working intermittently
- Display of error codes or incomplete cycles
- Visible corrosion or damage on the wire connectors

This specific OEM wire harness is also suitable for use with other brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.
