Trying to troubleshoot my dishwasher and was taking off the front panel. The wires on the harness were tight and one of them snapped. I tried simply pressing it back into the coupling/connector but still didn’t get power back.

I do have the wiring diagram but I wanted to chunk it in the trash after looking at it. I’ll try to post a pic. I know it’s this one that is snapped based on the color key (K3 below, center of circle)

Does it matter at all what I replace it with ? I have done novice appliance repair but nothing like this…

The wire came out of a multi terminal plug? Or did the wire break in the middle? If you want to replace the wire it shouldn’t matter as long as the diameter is the same or larger.

It would be better to post picture of wire as opposed to wire diagram.

Sorry,

Hopefully this is not as intimidating as I thought when it first happened

Search the internet for the model number and "parts diagram".

Find the broken harness/wire part on the diagram.

Either order it, or copy that part number and search for the cheapest place to buy it.

Looks the harness is one piece. Didn’t want to spend $47 bucks but looks like that’s what I’m doing. Thanks

Before you do that, look at the other connectors for a brand mark,and measure the pin pitch (distance between pins). This might help narrow a search or Ebay for just the connector part.

My thoughts, exactly. The wiring diagram is undoubtedly correct but your exact situation is unclear to us readers.

Picture is posted in a response above. Should have posted it before for sure.

Any idea what that white contraption that the wire pulled out of is? If it is simply a terminal connecting the three wires, I would just use a wire nut to connect the three together.
