Electrical parts, once plugged in, are not returnable - industry standard. However, every part we sell comes with manufacturer warranty, what's more is there is no need to contact the manufacturer - we take care of it for you. So, if a part you bought from us is defective or becomes defective within the warranty period, let us know and we'll exchange it free of charge, just pay for shipping.

I just discovered something that I may have blown off as a connector of some type, but may be the inline fuse for the red wire that goes to the relay. It is not too far up the red wire from the pigtail, and looks like a fuse that may have been sealed with that heat shrink tubing, or whatever it's called. Maybe I'm wrong, but take a look:

What do you think? Looks like one of those automotive type fuses in a holder, and shrink wrapped.........or i'm just hoping beyond hope. I have a feeling I'm going to feel like a real idiot here soon lol.

I just cut the tubing off, and it is a fuse, and it is blown. I feel like an idiot. I just saw the black tubing and thought it was a connector, until I looked close. Any idea how I can get one of these, or the entire wire with the fuse in it, since it is inline. I called my local auto parts store to see if they had inline fuse holders with 14 gauge wire, and they do, but this has asbestos insulation on it, and the wire from the auto parts store won't. Any other way to wrap it to protect it from the heat like the original insulation if I can't order the wire with the fuse?

Here's what it looks like with everything stripped away

Good eye! Good news is I found the fuse. Bad news is it comes as part of the entire harness for the range, all $77.21 of it (see photo through the link below). It's a shame KitchenAid makes you buy the whole harness, but there isn't much we can do. Give us a call on Monday, mention this post and we might be able to give you some kind of a discount (ask for Matt or Adam).

Thanks man! Yeah, that sucks it's part of the entire harness.I hope it at least comes with vaseline.......ouch! LOL.I appreciate any break you can give me. Says it's out of stock though........how quick will it come in? I know when I ordered my ERC, it came in one day, and that was cool. It came from Fresno, and I just live in Ukiah, so I'm sure it would be the same, correct? Yeah, I got the fuses out of their "caps".........down to this

and got these

and this

and was going to try and press these "caps" on to the fuse, and heat shrink it again, but a friend of mine said you may not get a good connection, as those caps are pretty tight when new, and the fuse will most likely overheat and blow again, so getting the wiring harness is the smart thing to do, don't you agree? Of course you do, you sell them haha.......just kidding man......I like to do things the right way, especially in this situation. There are times when jerry rigging something is o.k. but I don't think this is one of those times. Correct me If I'm wrong, but wouldn't my local appliance repair have most likely told me that it was part of the complete wiring harness, and sold me the whole thing, plus labor? They sure wouldn't make something on the spot, would they?

We have multiple warehouses across US and always try to ship from the closest one to the customer, because of this most orders are being delivered within 1-2 business days.

This harness is out of stock, not a single warehouse has one. This means that it would take about 2 weeks to get it from Whirlpool (KitchenAid's parent company) to you. We can put a rush on it and ask Whirlpool to send it via next day or second day air, but that would cost extra. Whirlpool charges $35 for next day and $25 for second day air.

To answer your other question, it is possible to replace just the fuse. Whether or not a technician would be able to do it depends on two things in my opinion: 1. tech's knowledge and experience 2. willingness to "go the extra mile". It looks like you've got all the right parts, but I couldn't really tell you if you could pull it off yourself

Let me know what you decide to do.

[acillatem]

O.k. Thanks! I might give it a shot, but will most likely order it anyway. Does your offer for a possible discount stand for a couple days?

[Admin / APP Team]

Not a problem. Whenever you're ready...

And of course, thanks for the order.
