I'm trying to replace the defrost heater in a Whirlpool

fridge/freezer.
The calrod heater delivered yesterday has no connectors on the wire
leads, and I don't know where to get them or what to call them.

Description -- These crimp-on connectors are similar to the familiar
spade connectors, but the ends are rounded, bullet-like, to the same
diameter as the wire. They plug into the rear wall of the freezer

above
the freezer coils. Couldn't be simpler, but I never saw them

before.

It always helps to know the exact name of what you're looking for,
either on the phone or on Google, so would someone tell me what

they're
called? I'm stumped.

Thanks,
JPM


As in bullet crimp connector? eg.

You might find them in auto parts stores in heavier duty versions than
radioshack.

Good link, JC. Interestingly, I was at RatShack this afternoon and the
guy said they don't carry those connectors, yet there's the very item on
their website!
