Need name of strange connector
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 |

Thanks, JPM As in bullet crimp connector? eg. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...Id=2103498&cp= You might find them in auto parts stores in heavier duty versions than radioshack. JC |

(both, the old heater, and the new one) |

JC 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! |
