Hey man, props to saving all these people money by showing them that appliance repair is sometimes possible. 😃

[@eileenwright1742]

Well you gave me confidence to do this myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 3 years later, is still helping folks. RAR Sacramento, CA 4/23/23

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks No Comment!

[@LuluFoxxx]

My hair straightener cord is about to do this.. I did a quick search and found this video. Instead of buying another expensive replacement, I will be heading to Home Depot to repair it, myself. Thank you for saving my ass over $150 💯 You're doing the Lord's work.

[@bobmartin4021]

Amen!

[@nunurbuisness5578]

I'm a big believer in fixing things rather then replacing things awsome video

[@michellek8076]

I simply cannot thank you enough for this AMAZING video! I used your link to order the plug from Amazon, since Home Depot did not have it. I followed your instructions exactly, and guess what? My beloved vacuum has a beautiful brand new plug! I did it all by myself, thanks to you! Best instructional video EVER!

[@kristinvoss9857]

Great video! I am an old lady and I think I can actually achieve replacing the plug on my 40+ year old Electrolux Marquis. Thanks so much!

[@JohnWick-ec6cx]

Absolutely great tutorial. Quick, simple, and straightforward.

[@Dee-DeeLC]

Awesome, thank you. Our vacuum cord at work broke, the prong ended up in the outlet. This video helped me to fix it since we didn't have a guy around to take care of it. Us women like to keep things clean you know. Took a pair of scissors and a sharp knife. It worked!! But we then realized someone bought the wrong plug replacement. I am picking up the right one and our vacuum will be back in action for less than $5! Thank you.

[@NatersgonnaNate]

This was a big money saver. Very grateful for the sound instruction and easy to follow demo.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@dog_watwr7251]

I’ve never seen a video so on point... thanks✔️

[@d.w.6584]

Thanks for making this. I have an old Bradford radio from the late 60s that I'm going to need to replace the plug on, and this is going to help so much. Really appreciate the simple straight forward directions, without any extra fluff. Got yourself a new subscriber.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@NightscapeProduction]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I was feeling absolutely heartbroken & lost about my subwoofer breaking but this gives me hope :)

[@christineford5888]

I recently pulled my vacuum plug out of the outlet and it broke. I watched your video and was able to replace the broken plug. It works great! Thank you!

[@InsideTheMindOfFootballFanatic]

My teenager followed your video and fixed the vacuum cleaner cord. Thank you for the amazing video.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Tell your teenager great job!

[@dawnswggolden5470]

Thank you! The guy at Home Depot said the wires didn't matter. I see that you said black to gold(brass?) and white to silver. I figured it mattered and I specifically asked, so I am glad I found you. You helped my family be safe.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Great to hear!

[@xHadesStamps]

While it is true that the appliance doesn't care which wire is connected to hot vs neutral, you absolutely might. Polarization ensures that the wire you're more likely to touch is the neutral; it's a safety feature

[@JamesSmith-dy6el]

Thank you for making this video. You saved us $300-$400 for a new vacuum, by just replacing the plug! Thanks😊👍🏻

[@ThriftyGarage]

You're welcome!!

[@Christina-dq3qh]

This video is extremely helpful. I was able to follow your instructions and accomplished the task in minutes. Thanks for your help:)

[@lanettesteves7538]

Thanks for easy to follow video. I needed to get my plug replaced but your video gave me the confidence to do it myself. Your video saved me time and money. Thank you very much!

[@lninas2003]

Wow! Glad to have found this video, I literally thought I had to buy an entire new adjustable frame for my bed I’ve been having for 14 years and now I know what to do to fix my broken plug! Great video thanks 😊

[@amberdon1809]

You helped save my microwave plug, which broke last night. Thank you so much!! Very informative & straightforward. The process was super easy.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@jodjadien]

And to think I was going to throw out my $300 heater! I definitely will do this thank you!

[@paedahe4975]

This idea is much better than cutting off a different cord off an old appliance and pairing the two with electrical tape. Cleaner.

[@lukeshiva]

Ditto everyone! Useful to the max I’m curious though does it matter that the original plug was two prong and the one you chose to replace it with was three prong? 4:46

[@imagemaker8268]

Hi. I want to say thank you for this video. I assume that replacing a plug end is standard all around as I needed to replace a plug for an old electric heater. You saved me from throwing it away. This was the only thing left that I had of my dad's since he passed away years ago and did not want to part ways with it. It seems simple to replace and I am grateful for being led to your video 😃🙌!

[@ThriftyGarage]

Glad to help!

[@Maggie-ik7vh]

Thank you for saving my day with this great video. Simple instructions and to the point.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@alicepen]

I’m so excited, I got a vintage/antique sewing machine recently and the plug needs to be replaced Now I gotta figure out how to fix the spot where the wires connect to the machine (it kind of loops around two nubs)

[@keh2567]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for making it clear and simple.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jetpilot3714]

Thank you for this!

[@AMac815]

This is great. Got the same exact problem on an old Miele. I originally soldered it but that failed quickly. It's a polarized 2-prong but I like the stabilizing effect of the large 3-prong plug like you did. Thanks!

[@joanna6588]

I have a 10 year old Miele, issue is with the cord by the plug end, obviously the wiring inside is faulty it works if you bend it the right way. I think replacing the plug to cord will be easier?

[@brianc9036]

Appreciated. Its amazing really how simple some of these fixes are.

[@faithhartman5500]

Short and right to the point!! One of the better short videos to freshen up the skills for average joe!

[@ThriftyGarage]

Cool man. Wife was about to send me to the store to buy a new vacuum!

Simple and straightforward! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I will do this as well.

Thank you so much for this video. Fan said return to manufacturer for cord replacement. Fixed in short order thanks to this video.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Great to hear!

[@adrianoziewicz3925]

Thank you....I was thinking I had to buy a new vacuum cleaner but instead went to Home Depot and followed your steps and fixed my vacuum.

[@davidbrowne3102]

T.V cord just broke, nervous but with these great instructions I can't mess It up.

[@ThriftyGarage]

How did it go?

[@davidbrowne3102]

@@ThriftyGarage I worked at first,then I had to strip the wire more because it kept coming out. Then it short circuited. Should've got the electric tape 😂

Have a great job bro! Very useful video that i watch it. Thank you 🙂

[@ManahManah77]

Labor will always be what gets you every single time so it's always been wiser to do it yourself when you can. My younger brother took his car to the dealership to have his battery replaced once. Once. He was young, he never made that mistake again. I don't remember the exact numbers as it was in the 90's, but the labor was 2.5x the cost of the battery (dealership prices, mind you, which are always higher but still..). For this repair, either DIY or buy a new one; the repair would probably cost nearly as much as a new appliance

[@lazyhomeowner]

this is really great. question, why not leave the insulation on?

[@Soilfoodwebwarrior]

Super helpful thanks

[@michaelroosterlover5183]

Are all plugs like that compatible with all power cords? I have an electrolux vac and the info tag has worn off. I don't know the voltage. If I want to buy one like you have, what do you call it? I'll be getting it on Amazon. Thanks. UPDATE: I just found them on Amazon, looks like 15 amp will do the trick.

[@xHadesStamps]

If it has parallel blades, it's a 15 amp plug. If it has perpendicular (horizontal neutral), it's 20 amp (North America)

[@EKUTAN1]

Thanks for the Demo, I will give it a shot later today.

[@pennywalker8879]

Thank you. I've done this before but years ago. Easy to understand!

Glad it helped!

[@julionavas5626]

A have a case with a dehumidifier, I have to replace the plug end every three or four months because it gets burned after a hot spot is produced in one of the prongs. In using a plug similar to the one you use NEMA5-15P . Seems to be that after a while one of the screw contact forms a hot spot and overheat the blade. I'm thinking todo a try with another type plug end which terminal is a compressed hole

[@joannaturner81]

And done! Thanks so much!

[@julbittner711]

My kids just did the same thing to my vacuum. I am gonna try to fix it. Wish me luck lol

Is this an America plug in cos I got a fan with dis plug in and I can’t find anything I’m in Australia

[@xHadesStamps]

I had no idea it may be hard or impossible to find a replacement heavy duty, ungrounded plug. I guess I'm lucky they have plenty at my local Ace (although they are a bit harder to work with, due to lacking the backwiring clamps)

[@katew7948]

Thank you so much! Your video made it so easy and I am so proud of myself! =D

Good job!

[@glennpfeiffer8937]

If both screws are brass, how do you know which to put the white/black wire on? Or does it not matter in that case? Thanks!

[@amazinsinger08]

Side that has the larger prong is white/neutral wire, side with the smaller prong is black /hot wire.

[@deedickinson8842]

Got most of project but had problems getting wires around screws ends of wires kept spreading as I tightened down screws. Couldn't finish. I knew I did something wrong just couldn't figure out how to correct.

[@blackwingedbutterfly]

I had a vintage record player short at the base of the cord and the plug. It broke off at the connection of the two. I believe the wire was worn and when I plugged it in the connection created a surge and ⚡ the two were no longer connected. Is there a problem with the age of the cord and adding a new plug to it? Thank you! I'd really like to fix it and hear my vintage record player play.

[@ThriftyGarage]

If the cord insulation is failing I would recommend replacing the entire cord. We had a very old cord for a lamp in our shed. The insulation was dry and cracked. It was no longer doing its job. That can be very dangerous and is a fire and a shock hazard.

[@blackwingedbutterfly]

@@ThriftyGarage okay thank you. I was definitely shocked when I plugged this in for the last time. Do you have any videos on changing the entire plug?

[@ThriftyGarage]

The hardest part will be finding the right cord. Title is “Repairing Damaged Power Cords on Power Tools.”
