[Boatanchors] off topic - 3/16 female spade connectors

[Tom Chesek]

True in theory but there is a thermo switch (circuit interrupter) in series 
with the a/c line that burned off one connector.  The male lug on the thermo 
switch that burned was loose where it is riveted into the thermo switch. 
That might be why it failed or it might have gotten loose from overheating. 
My assumption is that the thermo switch might have been a marginal one from 
the gitgo and since the manufacturer used hard metal spade connectors then 
they did that for a reason therefore I want to get as close to original as 
possible.  Again, I appreciate all comments but since this is off topic from 
boatanchors any further comments, if any, should be directed to me rather 
than the whole group.

it's a microwave oven.  the only thing getting hot will be the loosely
bound material in the cavity (food/beverage) and maybe the magnetron.
