Swapping Out GFCI Cord End For Regular Plug How To DIY Step by Step Complete Process

[@umsanjur]

Exactly what I was looking for. I was posting this on the wrong videos until I came across yours, "All my outdoor receptacles have a GFCI. Does anyone see any reason why I can't just cut off the built in GFCI on the pool filter, replace with a regular 3 prong plug, and plug that into the GFCI receptacle? I'm still protected." I think I'll go ahead with the replacement. Thanks!

Thank you for this video! I need to remove my GFCI at the end of my pool pump filter cord and put a regular plug on to use with a timer.

Worked for me too~ !! On a Westinghouse pressure washer I had only used a few times. Less than a year old. I was really mad too. I searched online to see if this was a possibility and found your video.

Good to hear. Thanks.

I only have 2 wires coming out of the iRozce pressure washer. Black and white wire. No ground at all. I am surprised it worked at all. If I wire this into a 2 wire plug... with no green wire, how will the GFCI even work that this is plugged into for power?

Omg!!! This so worked. Thankyou

You're welcome, fine lady.

Thats an LCDI plug. They dont work like GFI plugs. These are designed to detect leakage between the leads and shut the unit down before arcing and the statt of a fire. Usually occuring with aged cords.

[@GoodStuffVideos]

What would you recommend?

[@davidreynolds4684]

@@GoodStuffVideos I'm not saying what you're doing is necessarily wrong or dangerous however it won't stop the cord from having a melt down if there is voltage leakage. You've got it plugged into a gfi outlet and it's 120 volt. Considering you were having issues with that unit on that circuit you might want to keep a close eye on it. Feel the cord after it's been running for a while. If it's hot you may want to either check that circuit to make sure you aren't over loading it. Make sure the breaker is working like it should. Etc. You might have luck checking an electrical supply for a new lcdi male plug. I'm curious if yours was tripping at all before you changed it out. Or what exactly was the situation leading up to the swap. Was the gfi tripping? Breaker tripping? Had the unit been installed at that particular outlet for some time and it just started not working etc. I know that most of the time home depot ,lowes etc have the power cords with lcdi made onto them which means rearing the unit apart and replacing the whole cord or if you're lucky it's one that has safety screws where you can open it remove the soldering connections from the cable and then install it to your existing cord. That can Bute you in the butt if in fact your original cord was having issues causing the lcdi to trip. I hope that makes sense. If you have an amp meter it wouldn't hurt to check that circuit to see what it's doing. So many houses have 20 amp breakers with 15 amp outlets and are loaded well beyond 75% of the max load. I hope that helps. Good luck. BTW I didn't finish the video so I'm guessing it worked after changing the plug.

I have an LG window unit (120V and the largest 120V available before needing a 230V model). It runs trouble free on utility power but will NOT run on my Generac generator without immediately tripping that cord. I have an older but identical LG window unit that runs on utility and generator power without issues and without tripping the cord. The two male ends of the window units are identical. Any clues?

[@GoodStuffVideos]

I would not know what to say about that.

[@plumkey197]

@@GoodStuffVideos thanks for your fast response.

[@coronalives1970]

What is the name of the plug?

[@davidreynolds4684]

Its an LCDI

[@J.McSmithy]

tried this with an electric pressure washer... didn't work.

[@jc199159]

Either you did it wrong, or your pressure washer is shot. Literally did this with a plug-in that I cut off of an old computer power supply cord, used it to fix my pressure washer
