I need to put in a new power cord as mine is shorting out.

Disconnect Power: Ensure the Yardstar Edgar is unplugged or disconnected from the power source to avoid any accidents.

Access the Cord Area: Remove any casing or cover that provides access to the cord on your Yardstar Edgar.

Remove the Old Cord: Locate the connection points of the old cord. This might involve opening up the casing and identifying where the cord is attached. Detach the old cord carefully.

Prepare the New Cord: If you are replacing the cord with a new one, ensure it is of the correct type and size. Trim and strip the ends of the new cord.

Connect the New Cord: Attach the new cord to the same points where the old cord was connected. This usually involves securing the wires properly, ensuring a snug fit.

Secure the Cord: Use any provided strain relief or securing mechanisms to keep the cord in place.

Reassemble the Unit: Put back any casing or cover that was removed to access the cord.

Test the Unit: Before using the Yardstar Edgar, test it to ensure that the new cord is properly connected and functioning.

Remember, this is a general guide, and specific details may vary based on the model of your Yardstar Edgar. Always refer to the user manual for your specific model for the most accurate and safe instructions. If you're not comfortable with this process, it's advisable to seek assistance from a professional or someone with experience in equipment repair.

Your local electronics parts(was radio shack)store, the local TV repair shop or a parts order from the Mgfr.

You are correct, it sounds like an electrical short happened. I am guessing when it was hit, it caused the cord to get pinched in the metal casing. The pinching must have broken the insulation on the cord and the casing is grounded...therefore, instant short. The unit probably wasn't hurt but will need to have a new cord. If you follow the now unplugged cord to the refrigerators electrical connection, it is probably either held on by crimped connectors. Cut those connectors off as close to the connectors as you can (on the opposite side of the power cord). Follow the path of the old cord and remove it from the unit. A new cord can be obtained from a local appliance store or ordered online from places like applianceparts.com. Put the new cord back in the same path the old cord was removed from. Make sure there is no sharp metal to puncture the new cord where the old cord was pinched.
Hope this helps

On the back of the dryer, remove the screw(s) that hold the access cover to the back panel that cover the terminal block where the cord goes through the back panel and connects to the wiring terminal power block, loosen the two screws on the cord clamp the clamp it to the back of the dryer just enough to release the cord, remove the four nuts / screws that are connecting the 4 wires from the cord to the terminal block and or the back of the dryer,with the new 3 wire cord just match the colors on the terminal block with the same color wires that are connected to the other side of the terminal block, red,black on the outer most terminals and the white or green to the middle terminal, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU PLACE A JUMPER WIRE/STRAP FROM THE MIDDLE TERMINAL WHERE THE WHITE OR GREEN WIRE CONNECTS TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK OVER TO THE CASE/CABINET OF THE DRYER, THIS CAN CONNECT TO THE CASE AT ANY AVAILABLE SCREW NEAR THE TERMINAL BLOCK! In short this means that the neutral and ground of the dryer must be connected together in a 3 wire set-up.
GOOD LUCK!

The power cord had burned out right at the point where it connects to the female receptable (the end that connects to the unit). Need replacement cord.

sounds like your faithfull router has finnaly had enough and need to be put to rest, if it lasted that long thats one good router, id say go out and treat yourself to another faithfull router, i had mine last me about 4 years before a firmware update disabled it for the time being untill i get around to fixing it

you can buy a power cord in any electronics parts store...cut the cord to have a sample...you can connect the new one by splicing it.and twisting it and you should put an electrical tape to it..to make it insulated..

i need a new wire--mine had a short in it--how do I go about repairing it?

HI
Check that you use another power outlet,see that the power cord pins are clean,and not burnt or use a new cord,the connection at the projector makes a GOOD connection with the new cord.
You will need a multimeter to check if there is voltage at the inside of the projector cord connection.You will have to remove the internal fuse before you check the the voltage inside.If all looks good then you will have a fault on the circuit board-shorted component on power supply side or further in on the circuit(need an electronic tech for this).Hope this helps--Jay
SAFTEY FIRST ALL TIMES--NOT SURE DO NOT DO IT
