good quality connectors are what i use, cut and butt, unless you want to take off the lid, front off, baffle and drum out.. just to get to the conecting plugs?
I’ve mentioned it a few times that you can pop inwards the ty-wrap at the back and pull the connectors through the grommet area. You can with a fiddle pop the stud of the ty-wrap back in as well. Silicone up the grommet and jobs a good-en.
the easy way to refit the clip is to thread a piece of 1mm 7 strand through the hole hook one strand round the clip and pull gently then cut off the wire
Unfortunately one of the connectors popped off when I was trying to hook it out. Looks like I might have to use a hole saw to carefully cut a small hole in the back of the unit. It can’t possibly be worth stripping the machine just to get to it 🙁
