- Appliance cords have re-use-able plastic outer insulators that hold the cord into the base.
- Cutoff the cord about 2 inches above the plug.
- The wiring just above the plug can get damaged when you insert or take the plug out of wall sockets. By cutting the cord shorter, you avoid potential trouble spots.
- Squeeze the two prongs of the new plug together so you can pull them out of the casing.
- The plastic insulator will come off with them. Now you have to attach the wires of the cord to the plug.
- Slip the cord through the plug casing.
- If the prongs are on single unit with crimp-style connectors, open the prongs by gently pulling them apart.
- Push the cord into the slot at the back of the unit.
- Squeeze the prongs closed(together).
- Slide the unit back into the casing.
- Replace the plastic insulator.
