I'm refurbishing a 2005 Kenmore 80 Series Direct Drive to give to a friend with a large family. Unfortunately, someone cut the wiring harness when the lid switch broke and taped the wires together. I need to fix this because my friend has several small children and he doesn't want any of them to open the lid during spin and have an injury. (We know better, but small children don't.)
It takes a 3949238 lid switch, which I have already ordered. This is the one with the flat blade style terminals. The male terminals are in the lid switch, the female terminals are in the main wiring harness connector, part 62889, which I have also ordered. The question is: how do I get new female terminals to go into the connector? I don't know the terminology for these. I can crimp them onto the wires, install them into the new terminal block, and put the whole thing together once I can get my hands on new female terminals. Please let me know, Dave | ||

Could it be a Molex connector? | ||

Wiring
While I would love to get this machine up and running, I want it to be done by the book in case future repairs are needed and I am not available to do the work. I also worry about the wires rubbing against the metal lid and shorting, which is prevented by the connection being inside the plastic housing.
