You saved my treadmill that my dad gave me. He passed in 2010 so it’s extra special to me.. thank you!!!
The only part I needed to see, you did off camera :(
I mean they tell you how to do it and it’s literally just sticking it in there and tightening down a screw, but I guess it’s not fair to assume competence on the internet
😭😭😭 me too
@@opeboi1539Mines didn't come with directions. It also doesn't help that I was trying to connect it like a hook.
@@opeboi1539why does the screw keep loosening? Too much vaults or what?
Thank you for being patient while showing how to make the repair.
Very very helpful.
Thank you! Fixing this on my treadmill was my first home repair and I'm thrilled I didn't electrocute myself (or pay someone else to fix it) thanks to this video!! 💪
Thank you for such an amazing video, you explain so mice and clear that anyone with 0 experience can easily learn because you are so good to explain, thank you so much
You’re a good instructor. Thanks. Now my drop freezer won’t be a mess tomorrow.
After watching this very nice, clearly explained video, I don't need to watch anything else to repair an extension cord. Thank you!
Thank you ever so much. Couldn't remember which was the ground.
You give very very good instructions. You spoke of stuff I take for granted and wouldn't think to advise someone that had never replaced a plug.
Well done kind Sir. 👏
I just want to say that you're doing a good job with explaining it's very simple and clear and straight to the point thank you
Very Very helpful. What started out as frustration, then anger, turned to calm and relief thanks to you.
Thank you! Now I’m able to continue walking on my treadmill! 🙌🏾🤩
Thank you for this video, much appreciated.
Great easy to follow instructions. Thank you
thanks guy-just replaced my block heater cord end-snapped off at -45C yesterday-just wanted to make sure i was doing it right today-thanks again!😉
Just perfect explanation!! Thank you for a simple yet concise video Dan. Perfect.
Thank you for sharing this, I was having a problem with a used extension cord I had bought, anyway, the guy had reversed the polarity on the female end.
I just used this as a refresher for silver black. I had it right, but it is always great to have a second opinion.
I redid both ends and trimmed / stripped the wires a little more neatly and put it all back together and I have a safe outdoor extension cord again.
Great step by step. Thank you
You saved my portable air conditioner! Thank you!
You just help me fix the 'ol air fryer! Great vid!
You make it look easy peasy, Thank you for the informative video, good, short concise and to the point, Thanks....
Thanks man, really appreciate you!
Sweet!! This helped me fix my window ac.
I've put new ends on cords before but black & green were always marked. This end had green, gold & silver.
Thanks for the help 😊
Awesome video. 💪Very helpful! 😃Thank you so much! 🤗
My air compressor ground broke off, and now I know how to fix it. Thank you!!
Thanks man. Compressor fixed.
You are Very Helpfull thank you sir.
Nice vid. Thank you.
Thanks Dan for a Great and Concise Video. I too am replacing a Cord and Plug-in for a 16 inch Old Delta Drill press I'm restoring, and have changed these plugs many times, but, but, but, this time when I took the plug-in like you are showing, and looked at where the wires attach, the Green wire was no problem, then I looked at where the Black and White wire went, and then the DUH factor kicked in, there was No Brass Screw to designate where the Hot (Black) wire went, as both screws were silver. So I found your Video, and marked on the back of the Plug with a Black sharpie as to where the Black wire went. You Save me. I guess in Life we get to used to Mfgs tell us where everything goes.Thanks Again.
Dan, I might add, when I do my wires ready to secure them in the plug, I twist the wires good and tight, then I solder the ends before in insert them and tighten. I don't know why I do this, but always have, believing it makes better contact and the wires don't separate or become frayed. Just a Habit I guess.
Thanks a bunch that was very helpful. I didn’t know anything about the different colored screws. I came on to see which wire went. Where are you? Answered my question. Thank you so much for your help. Good video.
Thank you!
Easily shown and easily explained!! Thank you very much for the awesome videos. I’ve subscribed to see many more
Thank you. Very good visuals. Now my Horse will be cooler in the barn. I am wiring a Big Barn Fan.
Great Video
Thank You
It worked!
thank you and nice to know
Only thing I'm left unsure about is how the wire should be placed or better yet, "crushed" in between the screw and the piece of metal? Am I to just stick it straight in and tighten? Or somehow or another manage to curl it around the srcew as you would with an outlet?
my exact thoughts too
I just squished it in. I couldn’t exactly get the wire around the screw and it worked.
Nice 👍
I can do that. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video, I am not electrical savvy. My wife pulled the plug out of the outlet for the washing machine and wah-lah a prone didn't want to come out with it. She just says "oops", I say "oh great". But thanks to you it's all fixed and good now..☺️
Great thx!
What is the name of the plug that you are using to fix your cord and what is it called so I can buy it myself off of Amazon to fix my plug
You saved my refrigerator
Thanks . Saved my butt. I melted a freezer cord with thousands of dollars worth of food.
thanks , really needed to know the colour wire to what screw .
good video...
Question...is it better to stick the wire straight in next to the screw or wrap it around the screw. I'm asking because the wire straight in would sit cock eyed under the screw. Oh and...when I said wrap yhe wire on the screw, I meant take off the screw and "U" shapped cover so the whole wrapped wire is under the "U" cover. Thanks!
Wrap around like a hook so when you tighten the screw it grabs the wire and it makes a better connection
Thanks!! Simple instruction, easy to follow, good visuals - really appreciate your help!
Will this work on large electrical heater , plug is broken, can I just change plugs??? Wire look good.
Ive got a green wire and 2 blacks,how do I know whats hot and whats neutral?
Hey! I want to make multiple out of one Cord With serious-circuit lights-attached cord(1)/(male-female ends), is it possible?
My old extension cord only has 2 black and green wire...does it matter for some devices if the hot and neutral wires are reversed? IN this case, an old fish tank light.
I have a green, yellow, and black cable. is yellow neutral in this case?
🙌🙌
I tried this with a single pole dimmer switch from Amazon. When I turn the dial to energize the wire it gets to a certain point and disintegrates the wire in as split second. Maybe I bought the wrong switch. Not sure why it doesn’t slowly ramp up the power.
I have a green and two black. I presume green is ground yes?
Hey man thank you soo much youre tutorial just helped me replace the male connector on my Mini Fridge!! LIKE SUB AND COMMENT !!
all my screws are silver? how do i know which ones neutral and hot?
Are there any extension cord ends that actually look good after they’re on your cord, like the factory ones?
not really. I bought a cheap orange plug, and it looks a lot like an orange extension cord, but its not real heavy duty nor water resistant (the blades can actually be pushed in and out of the plug face) I used some caulk inside to seal the plug .
Is fusion free for those who live in the uk, I don’t seem to be able to find it for free pal
Anyone have a link to the new plug?
Lol, make sure to put the housing on the cord before wiring anything......I'm so dumb sometimes, 😕
How about sir when colors of wire are
Black white red
Thank you kind sir. May the Lord Almighty bless your days with tacos
Thanks SO much Dan, another "who needs a man lesson!" I'm loving life right about now! Lol..... Anybody need an engine rebuild?? Ha-ha-ha!
Black = Brass 😊
Under white write silver under black gold screw for screen shot reminder js 🏆🍺😎👌
Thanks for showing the little clamping bracket inside on each post. That's not in every replacement plug, so it's not in every video.
Lets assume you bought the male end at Lowes and the screws are all silver, no brass. Answer that.
This cheap replacement plugs don't allow the copper wire to be inserted as a 'U'. They also leave a visible gap which can easily let any liquid in. Apply dialectric grease in between
better than being shocked to death from not having a ground pin eh?
YOU COULD STILL USE THE MALE PLUG AS A TWO PRONG PLUG WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE IT.
Of course you can but is that really something you should do?
Too much words this guy
6 min video???
👍👍👍👍
F**k it
... I just end up breaking that one anyhow to fit in some 2 prong cord
