[link|https://lgappliancesfixit.com/lg-dishwasher-he-error-code/|HE error code on my LG LDF5545ST dishwasher|new_window=true] indicates an issue with the heating element. Upon inspection, I found that the connection to the heating element had corroded. The component in question is a small connector with a ceramic base and two spade terminals, part of the pump case assembly (Part #ABT72989202). Since the heater element itself is functional, I want to replace just the electrical connector.

Since the heater element itself is functional, I want to replace just the electrical connector.
I measured the connector and found it to be 17mm wide, with spade terminals extending from the sides. The back of the connector is marked with the numbers:
* 155 131 003
* 23 16
* 260C

To make a permanent fix, I need to identify and source this connector separately, rather than replacing the entire pump case assembly, which is quite expensive.
After conducting thorough research, I found that this specific type of ceramic connector is not typically sold individually for dishwashers and is often bundled with larger assemblies. However, a similar high-temperature ceramic connector used in heating applications may work as a replacement. These connectors are designed to handle high temperatures and have a similar spade terminal configuration.
One possible replacement part is a high-temperature ceramic terminal block. Here are some options I found that might work:
# ***Ceramic Terminal Block with Spade Connectors***: These are often used in heating elements and can withstand high temperatures, similar to the original part. They can be found on sites like Amazon, eBay, or specialized electrical parts suppliers.
# ***High-Temperature Wire Connectors***: Available at electronics stores or online marketplaces, these connectors are suitable for high-heat applications and can be crimped or soldered onto the existing wires.

I recommend searching for "high-temperature ceramic terminal block" or "ceramic wire connectors" on online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay, or checking with local electronics or appliance repair parts suppliers. Ensure that the replacement part can handle the same electrical load and temperatures as the original connector.
