Part 2 - So Your Dog Chewed Through Your Electrical Cord - Rounded Vacuum Cord. Plug Replacement
Вставка

- I did a similar video last year dealing with cords where you can tell which wire from the outside is “hot” vs “neutral” just by how it looks.
Well I’ve received so many comments (much appreciated) dealing with cords where you can’t tell which wires goes where just by looking at the outside. Specifically Vacuum cords where the cord is rounded.
So this video is all about identifying which wire goes where on a cord that is rounded, or any cord in general where you can’t tell whats on the inside from the outside.
Huge thanks to all for the people out there that made this happen! You made this happen, and I’m happy and grateful to give back to my community based off what I read in the comments. I see what you all want :)
Enjoy! 😎

It’s 10:39 at night I just got done from following your instructions and it worked !!! You literally saved me an extra almost $200 !! (Shark Self cleaning vacuum) definitely subscribing ! Hopefully you reach 1k by the end of summer !!
I knew you could do it and I’m so glad you saved some money and replaced that plug! I did that just for you ;) I subbed as well and thank you so much for the encouragement! Seems like that’s what your channel is all about which is awesome. I wish you the most of luck as well and will tune in and check up on you as well! Thanks again! Appreciate you more than you know 😎
@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Thank you! Lol if I’m being honest I was thinking to myself how I wish there was a way we could call so you could walk me through it and God led you to just make a PT2 ! And thanks for the sub May God continue to bless you and the work of your hands 💕🙏🏽
@@flourishingfaith Amen to that! Like I said, you inspired me to do this and that’s why I love this community so much. I hope to learn from your videos as well. I’m not perfect and need guidance here and there. God bless you as well :)

I meannnnn…. What’s not to love?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for commenting and checking it out. ✌️
Eat up my friend, because you are worth your weight in Gold. 👍🏽
Super appreciate that Paul! Really glad I could help you out! I hope you have a fantastic 2024 my friend!
Thank you for this video. I googled how to fix a shop vac cord and your part one video came up so I was hoping I could find one with a round cord like the shop vac. My husband was an electrician and new how to fix anything but unfortunately he passed on so I guess I’m on my own or at least I thought I was..thank you again cuz I can’t afford another shop vac at this time.
Pamela! I’m so happy you found my video and was are able to fix your shop vac. I know you can do it and if you have other questions just ask! Thanks again for the comment and support and I’m very sorry to hear about your husband’s passing :( I hope you have a great day Pamela 🙂
Thank you for this video!!!
Hey thanks Kali! Glad it helped and let me know if you need anything else :) take care 😎
My dog chewed the middle of the wire. I was hoping to find out how to replace the entire cord so I don't have a short cord on my rug scrubber
Heidi! Thank you so much for the comment and I totally get what’s happening. So my dog did the same thing. What I did was just cut the bitten part out, stripped back the wires and matched the colors up when I put them back together. I only lost about 8 inches in total length. I do have a video in this same section that kind of explains that. It’s about fixing a coffee grinder, but has what you need to fix that problem. Now if the cord is completely gone, you can always buy a replacement cord from a big big box store or Amazon. Then you can splice it together with the existing cord, just by cutting your original cord near the rug scrubber and then splicing in the new cord. (Same video I talked about before will help you with this). Yea it won’t look great, but it’ll work again. Just make sure you eg a cord that has the 2 prongs or 3 prongs, depending on what your cord currently has. I really hope this helped. Reach out if you need something else. Thanks again!
How about repairing the cord in the middle? Don’t need a new plug….just splicing!
Hey Angel! Super appreciate the comment and support. And yes that’s easy, it did a video on that where I repaired a coffee grinder using environmental splices. Splicing is very easy :)
My tv cord is white and blue, should blue replace the black in this case? I am just making sure
Hey Michael! Thanks for the question and support my friend. As for answering your question, yep, that’s what I would do in this case. Especially since it sounds like your original plug had 2 prongs that are the same size vs one where ones larger and the other smaller. I hope this helps! Good luck!
Thank you. My dog chewed tv cord we just keep it in the garage. For over a year and now my 70 inch got cracked so i needed to fix the tv the dog chewed up
That’s great that you were able to fix your TV Dan! I appreciate you letting me know that the video worked. Thanks for the support!
Hey friend! I’m back again lol I need help with mounting my tv I have wallboard anchors and they will not screw all the way into the wall can you help me?! 😭 everyone else’s video does NOT get it !
Hey Faith! Of course! Can you do me a favor and take a picture of the anchor you’re using? And it’s just going through drywall correct?
Me email is stoneycreeksparkchaser@yahoo.com
@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser thank you so much I’m sending it now !
I thought you were going to show how to replace the entire cord. My dog chewed all the way up the cord on my carpet shampooer. Can you show how to replace the entire cord?
Hey Canary Black! I’m sorry about that. Your dog most of been one hungry pup! Hope he’s ok :) My apologies for not showing how to replace the entire cord. I could do a video on that but there’s one problem. There are so many different vacuum configurations out there so it would be difficult replicating which one you have. I do know that this job can be easy. You can buy replacement cords from your big box stores or Amazon. The only hard part is knowing how to disassemble your vacuum where the cord comes in exposing the connection. If you know how to expose the connection then replacing the cord is a snap. I’m sorry I can’t help you with that. I really wish I could and like I said, I thought of doing a video with the whole cord replacement, but it would just be so hard. I hope you do attempt to fix it though. You have nothing to lose… it’s already broken, so try and carefully open it up where the cord goes into it. Determine if you have 2 or 3 wires to connect, take a picture of the existing connection, remove, find a replacement cord and then slap it in. Boom done. Keep me updated if you can. I know you can fix this and save yourself some money. 😎 Thanks again for the comment and I hope you have a really fantastic day!
Didn’t we already do this?
Some things are different!
