Electric Stove control switch burnt and wire housing, need help
So looking to replace my stove's control switch as a couple days ago i turned on the burner, had a massive spark in the back and havent turned on that specific burner since for safety. Problem is the housing for the wire that plugs into the control switch also seems to be burnt, i dont know the technical name for it so wondering if its something i can replace as well and how to go about doing that. Ive attached two photos to give an idea of what im talking about.
If you post the make and complete model number for your stove we can probably provide the part number for the piece you need.
If you don't get a replacement connector like in your picture standard electrical spade connectors can be used. You would need the female part of the connector which can be crimped onto the end of the wires. The insulated type are a good idea.
I just use crimp-on terminals automatically. You can get replacement plugs but they still need to be spliced to the wiring so it's just as easy to put the 1/4" insulated female slide-on lugs right on the wires.
I would highly recommend using name brand crimps 3M, Supco, AMP, TE.
You need a crimp terminal that will remain tight under high load and heat.
I have a KitchenAid KUDE70FVSS3. I noticed it completed the last few washes, but the dishes were dirty and the soap pod was not used up. As a test I ran a cycle with an empty dishwasher, and a glass on each level to collect water. I ran the 1 hour cycle with no heated drying. I heard the sound of water running and periodically saw water draining into my garbage disposal, but at the end of the wash, nothing had been collected in either glass. There was a good amount of condensation on the glasses and inside door of the washer. I have read to replace the inlet valve if water isn't going in, but I wasn't sure if that is my issue. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I have a small chest freezer that I've never used the full depth of. It's just too hard my wife and I in late 70's sort thru layers to get to the bottom. For the past 10 yrs I've had two 5 gallon peanut oil jugs in the bottom that served the purpose. I'm tossing the peanut oil and would like to build shelf. I assume there needs to be air circulation so I don't want to totally seal the top section from the bottom. Any suggestions of what material to use for a shelf? Thanks for any ideas.
