Slc She for Model Number PSS26NSTDSS

I have seen it asked before but not a helpful answer. I am replacing this defroster (again) since the one I just replaced it with 5 months ago melted the connectors and I need to replace the 1/8 female spade connectors. My problem is I have search high and low online and in every store around me for high temperature female 1/8 insulated connectors for this application and I can't find them anywhere.

Been living out of a cooler for a week so asap would be great! Thank you so much!
