Thanks! Your video saved me $90 for a new heater.

Excellent video! Real cable, real plug, real person!

Thanks for the straight forward video 😊 My daughter broke the ground plug for our washer so we’re going to replace it together

@maestrosteve Год назад

Thanks Todd. I had to replace the ends of an extension cord and had no idea which colors went to which screw, with the black on the left gold screw. I also had to do the other side, the female adapter, and didn't realize at first that aside from the ground being in the same place, the black had to be on the opposite right side where the gold screw was instead of on the left like on the male plug end. So it's always Black to Gold, White to Silver. Live and learn. Again, for me your video was a huge help.

Thanks for watching, I am glad the video was helpful!

I would have liked to see you pull on it to see if cord is held securely by the strain relief clamping action. Also, you can never get electrical connections tight enough with a Phillips screwdriver, that's why there is also a SLOT on the connection screws to give it more torque and hold the wires more securely.

@aneksii5769 Год назад

Thanks! I wanted to do it myself and learn How stuff works, seeing it opened up like that gave me all the confidence I need to go forth and repair!!

@marianstew54 Год назад

Great video. Very clear picture and lesson. Now I feel confident enough to do this myself. Thanks a bunch

@dotkennedy7443 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! We have to change the plug on our golf cart charger because an idiot "handyman" came to fix our garage door and tried to move the golf cart when it was still plugged in. He didn't fix the garage door either. 😡

@seanj.4634 Год назад

Very good video, Todd. I just wish in the end, we could've gotten to see you plug the cord in, and watch the arcade machine power up.

@kennewsome1095 Год назад

What tool is that

@crosbonit 4 месяца назад

I just mimicked what you did on an SJWT 3C/16 extension cable w/ a missing ground prong. Perfect fit. Looking at how the wires are held, it's easy to see why one shouldn't yank the cord out of a receptacle by the cable instead of the plug.

@lt5071 5 месяцев назад

I had the same replacement adapter. Thankyou for the instructional video !

Hi there , the process should be the same for the other end too .. right ?

@kathycollins2836 Год назад

Thank you ,where can I buy that adopted , will it work on a elietical fire place plug ,one of the prongs broke off ???

@middlecrossranch3977 2 года назад

Are there any extension cord ends that actually look good after they’re on your cord, like the factory ones?

@billgates3699 Год назад

Glad to see Eddie Deezen has made a full recovery.

@robertkubrick3738 2 года назад

If your cord is better like a 14/3 the wire won't fit well in one of these Leviton, they are better for 16/3. Forget a 12/3. The Leviton I got, they stopped color coding the screws.

@bsambo1959 Год назад

Nicely done and thank you.

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.

I just pulled my treadmill, That has been in storage for a couple of years, Out of storage for use. The 3 prongs on the power chord are still there including the grounding, none of them are loose. The grounding prong is fine. One of the two other prongs has a little rust and the other prong is fine. Is it Ok to plug into outlet or should I replace the entire end or will the rust on the 1 prong cause a problem.

What about strain relief?

@luciamary5641 Год назад

Thanks. My puppy chewed off the plug for my sauna heater. Great video but I'll still let my electrician fix it. Lol

@jameswoods6900 2 года назад

Youi have no link to the plue or model!

@picturethispetphotography7277 Год назад

What if there is not a ground wire? Also the wires are both black?

@Spiritualjourney_Tarot Год назад

How do we find someone to fix this for us

@timclimer6348 10 дней назад

My dog chewed the power cord to my pellet grill ( no it wasn't plugged in) Now i can just replace the plug and it should work just fine

@andyevans9356 7 месяцев назад

my new plug doesnt have colored screws. which goes where?>

@yellow_panther Год назад

Nice video, why are you wearing rubber gloves? Seems very awkward

@pumpkin0096 11 месяцев назад

Incase he gets electrocuted

@drewwhite6015 5 месяцев назад

I don't know why he's wearing gloves but what I do know is it's not to prevent electrical shock. Why would anyone do this with live current? When it's not necessary. .@pumpkin0069

@only1stephanie386 2 года назад

could this be the reason the steam cleaner is not warming up?

@ToddsGarage 2 года назад

Thanks for watching, I'm not sure on that one, good luck and hope you get it repaired.

@nishritakhangia9216 2 года назад

I am 18yo and my dad didnt fix my cooler after telling him repeatedly so I am watching this video thinking of trying it on my own I have no idea of anything what kind of plug should I buy to fix the old one or anything can this go completely wrong if I try to copy from this video? If it goes wrong will it cause harm to the cooler?

@nathanielfalk4249 Год назад

Yes it will short it out

@raygilbertson7149 3 года назад

Do you recommend wearing gloves?

@ToddsGarage 3 года назад

Hi Ray, I wear gloves whenever I'm in the garage for the most part. The old cord end was filthy!!!

@raygilbertson7149 3 года назад

Thank you. I was curious if the oil for our skin affected the wire but I'll wear em cause it looks like a good practice🙂

@ToddsGarage 3 года назад

Thanks again for watching and good luck on your repair.

@shawnd9280 Месяц назад

Save yourself some time and aggravation and don’t buy this Leviton plug as this plug is a horrible design as it does not give any clearance for wrapping the wires around the screws and no direction. Poor design and this video is too general as some of the other commenters have pointed out.
