Today I went to run our dishwasher and the cord was shorting out at the site of a repair (prior to when we bought it). It was a terrible repair and so I decided to repair it properly. I bought a new cord and ended up splicing it into the connector.
We bought it was used and it was sooo gross inside. Let's just say I don't normally clean with bleach but I bleached it like crazy. It was so gross. Anyway- it is all clean and rewired now and working like a champ!

How proud of yourself are you? I just love when I can brag about doing something like that. I haven't repair an electrical cord though. That is super cool. Congratulations to you!
Super! Nothing like doing it yourself. Congrats. Marly

super farmgirl in the making. I love hearing stories like this cause we all find something that makes us want to scream and not always can we fix it, but this time you did. Hooray!!
Thanks ladies! It was actually kind of fun- minus the mouse poop part. I have done other rewiring before- I got my VW Bug up and running and replaced cords on my dryer but this was the firs actual splicing that I have had to do since my bug so it was fun to get back into it. It's always interesting to see the guts of our appliances and such. :)
Farmgirled Up!
