@usa_kenyan 9 месяцев назад

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.

@brettcarter6189 7 месяцев назад

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

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...

@elizabethj238 Год назад

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.
