RicksDIY How To Replace Appliance Power Cord Plug End 

Thanks Rick! I successfully replaced the plug on my treadmill after my foster dog decided the old one didn't belong on the end of the cord! Great instructional vid.

Thanks so much Rick my husband out of town and really needed to fix a plug was in a panic but after watching this I'm going to do it my self your instructions where so great ! The little thing example twisting the wire are great thanks to you I don't have to replace the window ac and yes you did a great job with the picking the up detial on video

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Dear Rick,I just want to thank you so much for your '' HOW TO '' video. lt help me so much.We had a dryer with a bad plug end and watching your video learned me that l did'nt need the whole cord just the plug end.SAVED me a nice piece of money. Was going to buy a new dryer but now l don't have to.Your video was truly a blessing. Once again THANKS, Damon & TYE! P.S. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!

Excellent video. Clear concise and well presented. The camera was actually where you can see what's going on, unlike many other videos out there. I'm about to change out a similar plug and this was very helpful. Thanks so much... Ken Marina CA

Rick I successfully changed the plug end on my sump pump and because of your video, it wen off without a hitch... That means is worked Rick :). Thank you for the advice.

Thanks Rick This vid was super helpful. I have a weed whacker where the plug in cord is super frayed where it meets the cord. I can now change it out myself and make sure its safe to use. Your step by step and all of the little details really really helps. All the best !

Thank you for your video. I need to replace the plug on my magic-air car pump to inflate the kayak. I think I can do it now after having watched your video. :)

Thank you. Didn't know what colors went to what connectors. Good video

I didn't know what is the cable to the ground, thanks to you now I know :)

Thanks so much. Just put a new plug on my sewing machine thanks to youi!

I wish you guys that do DYI jobs like this would show it working after you fix them

Thanks for the tips you have discussed here.

Thanks for this video Rick! best one I've seen for this :) Would you recommend the same process for a vacuum cleaner plug head replacement? I have an vacuum that's 12 amps. It has an 1100 watt motor. one of the prongs came out of the head and i'd like to replace the whole plug end/head. How do i go about choosing the right amps for my vacuum? It's a 2 prong plug head.

What if the plug is non-polarized and ungrounded? I did this and the equipment doesn't have a ground wire either. The screws in the plug are not color-coded either and the blades are the same. Where to screw the white wire and the black one?

Is it okay to take out one black adapter for the cord and leave in the other one? It is too tight if I put both in. Now there are spaces around the cord though. Do I need to cover that with electrical tape?

Rick, I received a product from China which came with a EU style connector. I am trying to replace the tip with a US standard grounded plug. I just dont know which wires are which after I cut the EU connector off!? Mine are Yellow, Blue and Brown! lol Do you know how those wire colors might work out to be so I can put on a new grounded tip? Thank you!

Ricky where did u buy the power cord end?

I'm replacing the plug to a stand up fan. I bought a plug, it says 125V. Is that correct for the fan? Thanks

Thanks Rick! It was a scary task for a girl, but I did it...didn't even mess up my manicure. Hah

Can I do this even if the plug has a test button on it?

Really great video. This same thing happened to my dishwasher. How can I tell what amp and gauge the wire is on my dishwasher?

Rick my cord is the flat gray one , one wire that's color coded is the middle one with green and yellow how to I proved Effectively

thanks for the vid, I needed to know the colors for the wires on my project (green & blue) had me stumped big help and good to know about the amp* I would have just bought any plug. now I know what I am after.

This video helped me thank you so much i followed every step and it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got to fix my flash dryer that i use to silkscreen t-shirts it works like new now thanks to your video... thanx again

Very informative. Thank you!

Ty. You made it look easy. My girlfriend just bought a used dishwasher. Its very nice but we didnt realize the plug was cut off till we got it home. Ugh.

thank you. worked just fine.

Nice to see this video, I'm still nervous about the hole thing.

Thanks.

Hi - Love the info, and the video; my only comment is, could you re-tape and hold your hands in view as much as possible?
