Thank you for this video. It saved me hundreds of dollars fixing my $600 vacuum plug that my dog chewed up. Lifesaver!!

[kevindibb]

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.

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!

[spckp]

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!

[dboltw]

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😂😂

[odzk]

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!

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.

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

[brettcarter]

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.

Great video! Simple . I never have done this before. Thank you

[lovethosebudgies]

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!

[marciashea]

Thank you !! I am single and dont have anyone to help me with things like this!!!! I did it!!! Because of you!

[soniaalvarado]

very easy to follow instruction, speaks clearly, like that you only need a few tools. good video

[petralisac]

Thank you soooo much! I repaired it perfectly! This helped totally!

[vs]

Thank you for showing us all, how to repair and replace this. Take care.

[raba]

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.

[chowitabonita]

Such a great video, and very helpful!

[Bevaboo]

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.

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...
