Title: Thermostat question
Post by: scalebowler on July 22, 2011, 01:35:17 pm
I'm currently replacing my thermostat in my machine and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of wire connectors I need for the back of the thermostat. The origional one had some screws holding the wires on and the one I bought has two tabs on the back.

I use these 90 degrees female quick disconnects from Radio Shack, they let you keep the wires low profile

Thanks! Do they need to be insulated or anything like that?

Nope, just cut the wires slightly staggered, and make sure nothing is potentially going to touch a ground.
