Bissell powerwash proheat Cleaner?

Bissell Powerwash Proheat carpet shampoo / cleaner. Motor stopped working, removed motor, found short "fused" power lead attached to motor has open circuit, ie fuse blown. Power lead is approx 4in long, spade terminals at both ends, single core cable with 20mm fuse soldered inline. Fuse reads LF5AH250V. Also noticed machine has similar cable connected to water heater unit. Question, what is the technical term for this lead to enable me to purchase online or search.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks Mike,
Sorry for the delay. Incidentally I found after examination, the fuse link is just two caps pressed onto a glass fuse, I replaced the fuse and it blew again. Also noticed that the motor was sparking from the brushes. now I'm looking for a set of replacement brushes, unfortunately they seem to be impossible to source!!

Hi , Just fixing mine with same fault. The connectors are called Lucas (I think). You could source from motor trade.I have replaced fuse on mine and it blew again twice. I suspect short in windings and new motor needed.Most likley not economical to replace.
I had one ago on last one I had too
