So, cleaning the carpet with a borrowed hoover carpet 'washer'. (desperately needed, my 24yo son just moved out and he wasn't big on cleaning his room...) Anyway I tripped over the cord and everything stopped... I had a feeling the cord had partly pulled out of its grommet, and peering through the air holes thought maybe I could see bare wires inside. Easy I thought, just take the cover off.... So after removing basically every screw, I had a cleaner that looked like it had been through a crusher... And the offending cables... It appears the insulation caps on the crimp connectors have parted company. Except for the earth, which had the wire pull out.. A bit of heatshrink and a couple of hours reassembly, and it's a goer. And only 2 screws left over... I reckon I put about 20 in, no chassis whatsoever just plastic bits screwed together. -russ |

Love it when we fix something in the "throw away" culture. Many friends just stare in disbelief when I fix something that was going to be thrown out... Good job! |
