Hi... I have just set about replacing the element in my oven Indesit is60c1(x) and ordered a new element online. When got the new element I notice the original has different spade connectors to the new. The original has 3 x single spade connectors but the new has 2 x double spade and 1 x single. Does anyone know if this can still be used but connecting the single spade to one of the prongs of the double connector..?
I'll try upload photos but not been on here for a while so may not be successful.
First image is as original part.
Second image is as new part delivered.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for quick response.. Unfortunately the element connector broke off in the process of reconnecting to the spade so will have to get another anyway.

Cheers
 
Did it just come off the round 'pin' of the element?

If so, can you not make the spade fit or get one that fits.
Also, if it did I would be suspicious of the other one.

Perhaps buy a different make and get your money back for that one.

In which case ask for a replacement. If the connection blades broke off from the element that easily then the mechanical joint was too weak and the electrical connection ( blade to element ) would be likely fail very soon.
