Product review (4 stars): original fsp part easy to install
this part in itself i hope is an improvement over the original that came with my Whirlpool (Kenmore) direct drive washer.  The original's plug at the wall end; the tang that connects to the interal wire wasn't made with a good connection e.g. the connection point was weak and caused heat to build up over the years and there are signs of the rubber melting at this point.  On the other the connector shows evidence of also being weak not heavy duty enough to allow current to flow resulting in unwanted heat that discolored the connection on this end also.  Will not be able to evaluate this replacement as only time will tell if it is any better than the original.
