This past Saturday, I went to a recycling center that I've never been to before. One of the first things I found was a complete Lux G in a dumpster! Only problem was that it was missing a wheel. I put a new wheel on it and gave it the spa treatment and now it's good as new! VCCC people - it will be at the Convention tomorrow along with 8 other machines. Everything is already loaded in the rental car for the trip. We're leaving at 2 am tomorrow!

I took the plug apart, and I discovered that the previous repairman was a slob. The wires were not held on very well at all, the hot was about to come off. I retwisted the copper and wound it around the screws and tightened them down good. I also put a bunch of liquid tape in there for good measure. It is not getting hot anymore. Warm yes, but not hot. The picture is the wires as found in the plug.

As I stated before...That is NOT the original plug, it is a genuine Electrolux replacement. The original would have either been a white Beldon, or a non removable molded on plug. |
