We have an IKEA LED wreath from around 2013. It stopped working so I suspect the transformer or cord.
It's made by Kwong Ming Electrical Mfy. Plug-in Class 2 Transformer
Model: KMD-240-00600-41UL
Input: 120V 60Hz 110mA
Output: 24V DC 6VA
I haven't found it via Google and I have never seen this connection configuration. I'm thinking about stopping at IKEA to see if they have any replacement parts. I believe the wreath model name is GLÃ NSA.
Has anyone got the knowledge to help me find a replacement?
Any 24 volt DC supply will work. The 6VA is a tiny amount of power. More is fine. Keep the plug with a length of wire from the old unit and strip the ends back and either solder or use wire nuts. Just be sure to maintain the correct polarity.
Edit: amazon has them for around 10 bucks.
My 24V led Christmas lights have a connector that looks like that. It may be a standard for that voltage.

Was trying to avoid that but it is good enough for my outdoor extension cords.. So I may ultimately resort to that.
I was hoping there was some connector legend like you can find for higher voltages (image below) .. so I could find the magic description to snag one from the big river for a couple bucks
Just cut the connectors and use a Weatherpack or similar connector.
IKEA has been known to spec proprietary electrics. I have a lamp they sold with no direct replacements....
You're doing it wrong. 11 years is well beyond the product design lifespan of this object and it is scheduled for replacement.

(Seriously - throw a meter on it first and confirm that the cube has failed... could be the cord or something. A new adapter won't help if something else is fubar.)
Get one of these for $8, snip and strip wires on the wreath, install in the screw connectors. Done. If they don't light up, change the polarity. If they still don't light up, it isn't the power supply that is the problem. Broken wire in the LED circuit perhaps.
