Thank you for this video. It saved me hundreds of dollars fixing my $600 vacuum plug that my dog chewed up. Lifesaver!!
haha that's why im here
Lol me tooo
Ok😅
My new rescue Lab pup chewed my fan plug , and it’s very hot here 🥵
Awesome straight to the point video- had a broken pronge on a hospital bed and a bew power cord to $90, now fixed for less than $4. Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say thanks, I was going to call a handyman and then watched this and did it myself. It took me longer to find the thing in Lowes than it did for me to do the job.
“The thing”.
Thank you !! I am single and dont have anyone to help me with things like this!!!! I did it!!! Because of you!
I ordered a replacement fan, found this video, canceled the order, and ordered a replacement plug instead. This makes so much sense. Thank you!
I was about to buy a new vacuum when I found this! You just saved me like $100! Thanks!
I owe you a 100$ man thanks!! The 20$ i spent on the plug and wire strippers is coming out of my dogs paycheck because she is the one that chewed the cord😂😂
Thanks for this. I just fixed my extension cord after watching your instructions. I didn’t know which wire was hot and which screw it was supposed to go on. Your video was very helpful.
For safety. You should have a little more of a hook onto the screw. Makes it much less likely of it ever coming undone, or shorting
You know you can always make a video of doing it your way
Matter fact all of you kan make your own videos he did it just fine it not a heavy duty commercial use cord. its just a simple power supply its fine. Although i already knew this information i learned that i could purchase the 3 prong plug that a client needs at a hardware store so i appreciate your video man thanks
@@Kayeoss Jesus. Someone makes an innocuous safety tip and you jump all over them. What are you, this guy's mom?
@@Kayeoss Same for you skipper. It was a good suggestion. Can't wait for yours!
@@Kayeoss Where's yours?
This was a very helpful video. My iron was not working. Then I noticed that the cord portion, right next to the plug, had frayed. I could even see the exposed wires, if I looked very closely. I got a Leviton 15-amp non-polarized replacement plug online from Home Depot for $2.44. I installed it and my iron now works with no problems. Before I saw the video I was actually planning on throwing the iron away iron which I've had for a long time and really like (it's GE). Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic video! Yesterday I forgot to unplug my block heater before backing out of my garage. The ground pin sheared off as the cord ripped away. Now I'm going to try and fix this!
Thank you soo much! We had an industrial metal fan with a plug that was fire hot 🔥. I bought the part from the hardware store & replaced the plug. This saved us 300.00 for a new one & this one is nice & cool to the touch!
Hey, you just saved my $100+ on a new vacuum. I have a practically new one and one of the outlet tines broke off. Perfectly explained. THANK YOU!
What is that replacement piece called ?
It's a Kirby?
@@Jc-jf9rz plug
Great video! Simple . I never have done this before. Thank you
very easy to follow instruction, speaks clearly, like that you only need a few tools. good video
Thank you for that link information in the description. All the pieces were named & the prices great. I very much appreciate that extra legwork you did to help us out!!! 👍👍
Thank you so much! I got a short in my iron plug in while I was in the middle of making curtains, no money to buy a replacement atm. (It's a VERY expensive iron.) I would've been hosting Christmas without curtains to cover my mess of a sewing room, which would mean that i would have to clean it. Nobody wants that. ;) $2.50 and a trip to Home Depot, and I'm back in business. You are so awesome for posting this.
Thank you for showing us all,how to repair and replace this. Take care.
This was extremely helpful. Made our defunct vacuum work like a charm!
So easy to install. Thanks. My application needed a white part so I had to find one like that. It happened to be exactly like the one you used but white.
I knew I could find a video that would show me how to and what I need to replace a broken vacuum plug. All the supplies are arriving tomorrow!
Thank you soooo much! I repaired it perfectly! This helped totally!
Super helpful, great explanation, my dog lights to eat unplugged cords so this will help me fix my $100 vacuum
Appreciate the help just fixed my sauna steam generator cable! Thought I had to buy another $70 generator i was frustrated but I know there had to be a solution thanks again!
Such a great video, and very helpful!
What a great video, thank you!
My cat decided he needed to sharpen his teeth
Nice and simple description and demonstration ! Good Job!
Just saved me a few hundred dollars in a few minutes! Thank you!!
Thanks a lot bro, without this video I would never do it and probably lose lots of money!
This is awesome! Thanks so much for making what I thought was a disaster a very simple fix!
Same here ...and I didn't even do this problem It was a crazy now (ex)- girlfriend
Excellent video. There's no hemming and hawing around here. The speaker knows what he's doing and shows how to do it very clearly. A model performance. I'm on the way to the hardware store now...
Is there a way to find which is neutral and which is load if the copper wiring doesn’t have color coded insulation. I do have a ground wire
I had trouble telling which screw was which so I finally took a guess. I guess I got it right!
@@gracenote1837 Actually, I realized one side was charred and the other had an “N” and was not. So N is neutral and the charred side was the load
@bruceleeroy8302 anything unlabelled should be thrown out, old code.
👍Awesome thank you , hopefully I can safe my electric fireplace , but I'll need a 3 prong & thanks for saying the price & hope I can find one at the hardware store
I tried it on my Toshiba TV cable and it worked. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks!!! I almost went out and replaced an entire deep freezer after accidentally ripping the plug out of the wall, which broke a prong. Wish I had found this video years ago. I’ve thrown away multiple electronics because the cord or plug got severed.
Thank you so much for this video I fixed my carpet cleaner. Appreciate it man!
So grateful for your explanation 😅
Thank you so much for posting this video.
I am so happy i found your video, I was about to replace the whole cord because the grounding prong broke. This is so much easier....
Super helpful, thank you!
Thanks Dude! Great video! That helps so much!
Super Useful video my dude. Respect!
Thanks for uploading this highly informative video.
Thanks for the video. You made that look really easy.
Many thanks for the priceless advice,
Great video. Very informative. Very clear and simple instructions from you..
I would definitely go and get it one of these plugs .
Where do I find the link for this plug on your video?
Thanks in advance for any help there .☘️👍
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this brother 👍🙏
Great, thank you!
Thank you! It worked
great video! It will help me so much.
Very helpful video! Save me from buying a new cord! Thanks very much!
Great video!
Awesome video thank u man
Thanks. Trying to fix my pool filter.
I was able to fix my son's tv, thank you 😊
Thank you...subscribed
Would this be something I should be able to find on Amazon? This is what I was looking for but didn't know of they existed and ended up buying a cord for a vacuum and this prong is a much cleaner solution.
Thank you!!! You helped me fix my ninja blender!! It was a wedding gift that was only used a few times before our dogs got to it! I appreciate this video!
Thank you so much. Your video same me 269 dollars. Got my appliances working.
Great video,
Great video! Thanks for fixing my shop vac! 😁
Great video
This is cool! Bought an guitar amp with a cut wire. Gonna try this out
Can you do this with the plug you already have if it has a screw?
thank you !
Huge. My chihuahua just chewed threw my iron plug. Ty!😅
Thank you 😊
This looks sooo easy to do! I'm sure I can do this by myself!!! Great, easy video to follow!! Thanks. Chalk this up to one more thing I can do by myself!!
perfect video, my dog chewed my vacuum cord up thought i was gonna have to buy a new vaccume. Followed this step by step. Vaccume is back working!!!
Wait are you sure you aren’t me? Lol. I found my new vacuum this morning with the cord chewed through. I was so upset! After watching this I got the needed parts and now I have two working vacuume cleaners! Thank you so much.
Is this Leviton model compatible with a 11.5 amp plug? (120 Volt Vitamix grounding prong broke off) I’m a novice but handy and your video is easy to follow. From my Amazon search, looks like this will work as this model came up as well as another Leviton 125 v. but I want to be safe. Thank you!
Do you have a video for splicing when the cord is cut right near the appliance (maybe 2 or 3 inches?) thanks
There are videos available. One option is to use both a plug and a Jack. The only shortcoming is it coming unplugged easily.
Hi! What if your wire doesn’t have clear negative/postive wires. Mine are both copper neither have white or black on them
Thanks
Thank you
Can I use a 3 prong on a 2 prong no issues
Great video, but I would have loved to see the repaired item plugged in and working at the end.
Thank you!!!!!! My dog chewed my tv cord in half and You fixed my tv!!
And my bunny chewed off the vacuum cord 😂
About to convert all of my power tool cords into budget festool plug-its. ;)
Thank you..
How do I do this if all three wires inside the cord are the same? They are all plastic coated and I see no difference. Please help. Thank you!
Wow i didnt know they made these
How do you find out which is the power wire? The cable I need to fix just has black jackets on both wires inside
Tie a knot or some other measure to prevent pulling the wires off from the plug.
i'll keep that in mind.
It's not a jack, it's a plug... and it's not an outlet either. The outlet is the receptacle in the wall. Also, strange that the original plug had a ground pin but no ground wire. Never seen that before...
He also says there are three plugs inside the plug…and A/C current plugs don’t have a “positive” wire, it’s hot and neutral. Listening to this made me crazy, even with my limited knowledge of electrical components.
My vacuume died. I pulled out all the scews to save them and then cut the electrical cord off. *Is there a way to repurpose the electrical cord?* One side has the plug-in head in tact and the other end is where I cut the cord. (I threw the body parts of the vacuume away).
Would this work for a refrigerator power cord?
Thank you! I need to fix my air compressor. The ground pin came out and got stuck in the outlet.
What splicing tool is that
Definitely saving my a** with this and i dont own the washer ....i was just allowed to be in a family friends home ...crazy you try to let other people have a good place for a short time then when you tell them to leave off someone elses property and explain this isnt yours ...they decide to put people like us in a position like this ...i thought i was destroyed from my will after seeing a plug like this ya'll (from texas here lol) this girl was so pissed she woke up from her sleep or played like it ....smoked a cigarette (in a rehabbed home looks like a modernist type mansion design) in the bathroom, ripped my original army jacket shirt arm off, dropped fruit on the floor purposely (the floors are wood and very light tan sandish), left dishes she cooked with dirty, and cut the plug to the washer ..... everything else wasn't so bad when i woke up this morning i found myself in this position.....
Learn from my experience never deal with someone who thinks that their mental health is an excuse...fk that....to some degree ...but even in jail after awhile sometimes they get to be too much ....and for this girl in particular shes aware of what she is doing ....she repeats everything back in crystal clear memory... literally everything...so i call bs ...but yeah peeps glad to be part of the broken plug family lol 😏😂🤣🤣 and stay away from crazy girls !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Is my cord supposed to rainbow at the prongs nothing seems wrong
Is it safe to use a 3 prong replacement plug with a 2 wire as you have shown in this video? I'm trying to replace my two prong cord, but I only have access to a 3 prong replacement. Thanks 👍
It is perfectly safe, although it is a bit misleading where a user could think "This has ground" when it in fact does not.
No, it would give the user the wrong idea on whether it was properly grounded. Pay the extra dollar and do it right.
Merci
What happens if the wires are the exact same color? Black casing. Copper wires and that's it. No way to tell which is hot ground or neutral.
could soldering fix this?
Nice video! Just saved my smoker!
Great job!
What would happen theoretically if you put black to silver and white to brass?
Awesome so easyb
Tks ❤❤
