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?

Thanks,

Hows about just clipping the connectors off the old heater's wires and
splicing them onto the new heaters leads.

Soldered joints with shrink tubing over them should work fine, but
maybe
just inline crimp connectors would handle it.

Thanks, Jeff. Good idea about the inline crimp connectors. I think I
may even have some.
