I haven't looked at the details on this one, but sometimes a while 
looking over Mouser and Digikey will turn up miracles.  If you know the 
part vendor brand e.g. AMP you're more likely to get a hit.

Appliance mfrs are far less likely to do something weird than, say, GM.

Hard to tell what the contact pitch is and whether the contacts are flat
or round. That information would reduce the selection list from about
200 to a more manageable number. Digikey link for the 207 hits:
<https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-connectors-housings/319?s=N4IgjCBcoGwJxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIAzACxwBMdIh1cFYMjlNrADCALqEADgBcoIAMrCATgEsAdgHMQAX0IAONYhApIGHAWJlw8egFZ%2BQ0ZAnT5S1SFNhN0bWix5CJSOQow-MOZM-jDwHH5%2BagDsFiAiYpKyiiqEtGBRtFo6ep6GPuCx8dYAknLCuAq4UioOmfkAtkSYuAAeAARIRHJyuEjCRFLY-MpAA>

If that doesn't work, start a search for molex connectors, click the
"Rectangular Connectors - Housings" and drill down from there.

HTH,
Donald.
