WPW10242407 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Power Cord

This Whirlpool Refrigerator Power Cord (WPW10242407) is a genuine part for Whirlpool home appliances. It plays a crucial role in providing electricity to your refrigerator, acting as the essential link between the wall outlet and the fridge's electrical components. The power cord is an insulated, flexible cable designed to safely handle the specific voltage and current required by your refrigerator. Its durable outer plastic jacket houses separate wires for line, neutral, and ground connections, ensuring safe operation. Commonly, these cords are 2-3 meters in length, offering considerable flexibility in the placement of your refrigerator relative to the wall outlet. Exposed or damaged sections of the cord are a significant safety hazard, posing a risk of electric shocks and potentially short-circuiting the refrigerator's internal components. As such, routine inspection and unplugging of the power cord can greatly minimize these hazards. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include a fridge that's not receiving power, signifying a possible outage or failure in the power cord. In the event of such failure, it's essential to replace the cord with one that has the correct voltage and current ratings to safely restore operation to your refrigerator. Before purchasing, kindly confirm that the model number of your device matches to ensure compatibility.
