I know that shopping around can help. It was pay more for instant delivery, or pay less, and trust to the special order “within 28 days” delivery. We wanted the part as soon as possible, not realising we would have such a hard time with the wiring.

If there are any local ‘washer repair shops’ in your area, there is a good chance they may have one of these lying around.

If the terminals on the heater are full size spade terminals, a couple of fully sheathed standard spade connectors would be fine.

Thanks, I’ll give the local brown coat brigade a visit.

The spades were what I was thinking when I said I could bodge it, but I wanted to rule out getting the right part first.

Many thanks.
