Diy how to repair 5 years old extension cord (step by step)

Repairing a 5-year-old extension cord involves a few careful steps. First, unplug the cord and visually inspect it for any visible damage, such as fraying, cuts, or exposed wires. If the outer casing is damaged but the inner wires are intact, you can use electrical tape to secure the area.
For more severe damage, follow these steps:
1. **Cut the Damaged Section**: Use wire cutters to remove the damaged part of the cord. Make sure to leave enough length on both ends for reconnection.
2. **Strip the Wires**: Use wire strippers to remove about half an inch of insulation from the ends of the inner wires (typically two or three: live, neutral, and ground).
3. **Twist and Secure Wires**: Match the corresponding wires (live to live, neutral to neutral, and ground to ground) and twist them together securely. If using a new plug, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wiring.
4. **Insulate the Connections**: Wrap each twisted wire with electrical tape to prevent short circuits. Ensure no exposed wire is visible.
5. **Reassemble the Cord**: If applicable, put on a new plug or reattach the existing one, ensuring all connections are secure.
6. **Test the Cord**: Plug the cord into a power source and check for functionality. If it works without any issues, the repair is complete.
Always prioritize safety; if unsure about any step, consult a professional.
