W11371714 Connector Comparison Without Guessing a Pinout
Connector photographs are useful for comparing a W11371714 replacement, but they are not a wiring diagram. Pin count, wire color and a familiar housing do not establish the electrical function of each contact.
Make a safe comparison
Disconnect appliance power before accessing the latch connector. Use the model's service procedure and avoid tugging on wires. If access is uncertain or insulation is damaged, have a technician obtain the photographs.
Capture the plug shape, latch, occupied positions and its orientation on the lock housing. Include the original part label and complete appliance model in the record. Keep one overview so a close-up cannot be misread upside down.
Check more than the plug
Compare screw locations, body shape and the striker opening. A connector that fits mechanically does not prove the assembly belongs in the model, so confirm the service part through the parts diagram as well.
If the received assembly has an unexplained difference, contact the supplier before installation. Ask whether it is an approved service revision for the exact model and request the relevant instructions.
Stop at a mismatch
Do not move terminals, splice wires, bridge contacts or use an adapter to imitate the original connector. Do not apply power directly to the lock based on a pinout from another model. Those actions can defeat a safety function or damage controls.
After a correctly matched installation, the washer should be checked through its documented operating sequence with all protective panels restored. The evidence of a successful repair is normal, safe locking and release, rather than a plug that happens to fit.
Product reference
Compare the W11371714 listing and product photographs with the complete appliance model before ordering. A symptom or similar appearance alone does not establish compatibility.
