https://imgur.com/a/yeL6uzL I have this in my dryer, i need to replace end of wire part (female)that are crimped on and slide it on to the male end in this pic. What are the female ends called? thx
Female Disconnects / Connecteurs femelles is what it says on the box From an auto parts store usually on a rack so you can match size with the old one ...T
TYVM.....PS... does it matter if the female spade connector doesnt look the same as the one that was on before? Or can i use anyone that fits on the male spade connector?
No problem , as long as it's good and rugged These things grip by spring tension in the rolled edges at the sides and if the connection is not clean and bright and have a strong grip they can get hot and anneal the spring tension so it completely loses it's grip it then opens up and you lose the connection or worse it can start arcing across the gap and start a fire which happened to me Moral is for dryer application use high amp rated connectors and don't buy cheap ones ...T
This is for the door switch. Does it really matter if cheap or not? This is what the old ones look like.... https://imgur.com/a/btlvTcc thx TIA
Have a look at the circuit diagram I think you will find the door switch is not in the main power circuit but in a control circuit of the thermostat heater in which case any connector will do because it's only milliamperes cheap is fine here ...T
