No lights showing on control panel
The Control panel wire harness got caught in the door hinge, got pinched and the Red wire got severed, I cut through the black protective mesh and reconnected the red wire, to prevent the wires from being damaged again I moved the wire harness over more to the left and secured it with tape.

I have this washer and need to change the connector that plugs into this latch, is there a replacement for that item? i cannot find anything other than the wiring diagram that shows the part and connections, but no part number.
For model number GDT550PYR3FS
PartSelect logo
Hello James, Thank you for your inquiry. The white connectors are only available as part of the wiring harness, so you would need to replace the harness to change the connectors. We hope this helps.
