Hello everyone,
Guys I've an old Sears kettle that I still use. But recently I noticed that the power cord connector to the kettle is wiggly, but still works. Since, it looks like a removable connector I tried to pull it slightly but it doesn't seem to be removable.
Anyone here has any idea...
Hi, my names Ric. (Apologises for the essay)
Im new here but with only one question, or problem!
Ive purchased an RGB LED strip to go behind my TV and to avoid bending the strip round the 4 corners of the TV, Ive also purchased L Shape RGB Strip Connectors.

I have an adapter which plugs into the mains and on the other end has what looks like an RJ11 crimp connector, but the clip is oriented to the left rather than the middle.
I want to shorten the cable as it is far too long and had anticipated simply cutting the appropriate amount of the lead and...
Here I am again with another (probably!) simple problem for those who are in the know.
I'm having problems at my holiday home with clients continually switching off the plug which powers the shower in the bathroom and being phoned by people, at all hours, to complain that the shower does not...
I've just watched a video on youtube about installing a bathroom extractor fan off of the light switch.
In it the guy says how much easier this is when you use Wago connector blocks rather than a ceiling rose (about 7 and a half minutes in). He's using Wago 3-way lever connector 222 blocks...
I have a Hager Duplex (stacked 2-row) CU to install.
The main switch is on the bottom row.
There are cables from the switch feeding the top row.
Both cables are fed via a KRN190 "100A neutral connector".
The neutral enters the top, and from the bottom is fed to the N busbar.
Now I can see this...
Hello
We are replacing our electric oven single oven. Circuit has 32amp MCB and seems older cooked was directly connected to CCU straight to back of cooker using thick cable. New cooker arriving tomorrow and think it might have a 13amp plug. Think I need to fit a connector unit to walk behind...
Hi. I have a black and red cable ( it’s actually for parking sensors in the car). The cables have been accidentally cut. As they are very short, attaching them back together using masking tape has not proved efficient. I need to buy a connector / terminal block of some type which has the ‘metal’...
Hello All, i am trying to buy a 12 DC cable for my camping fridge but i cant seem to find one with the style of socket the fridge has. I was hoping someone might recognise it? It is an old fridge so perhaps this socket is out dated? It is for a 12V DC cigarette lighter cable.
Many thanks

Hi , not an electrician by trade - but want to make a steampunk lamp for a project just in my spare time .
I intend to use an old avo meter for the base and attach a lamp holder to the top . I will gut out the inside to make some room for the cabling. Can I use a plastic lamp holder or as the...
I've tried to find a solution on here to this exact scenario but had no such luck.
Could somebody please advise on where I should place the earth wire on a plastic back box with no earth terminal when adding a new metal face plate? The face plate has an earth terminal on it and was probably...

I know that this has been debated before (quite recently in fact, but it is a boring Sunday afternoon), but as new products may have come available, I was wondering members views.
So the scenario is; Sunday afternoon, Mr DIY has finally fallen to pressure to Mrs DIY and agreed to put up shelf...
Hi all, I have recently bought a tv bed and when i was putting it together i accidentally kicked the cable which was plugged into the side of the bed pulling out all eight wires from the connector. It is an 8-pin block shaped connector with 4 colored wires (red,black,white and green) on either...

First time I have came across one of these fittings, it has a single rose with nine separate 0.5mm flexes, max 40w lamp. Just wondered what the correct way is to connect all the cables together. I...
