Need new power cord for eureka 402a

SOURCE: how do i splice the power cord back together

Hi,
You will need to cut away the outer rubber insulation. Be careful not to cut the insulation on the 3 separate wires. Then you will need to remove about three fourths of a inch of insulation from each of the three wires. If you can solder, then solder the black to black, green to green , white to white. Then Tape with electrical tape each wire separately. Do a good job of taping. If you cannot solder, then go to a hardware store a buy # Wire Nuts. Take the loose end of the cord with you so as to get the right size of Wire Nut. The wire Nut repair is bulky , but secure. You are using a lot of Amps with the Steamer so you want a good job, lest the repair gets hot. Either repair I mentioned will work safely and well.
Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: how do i replace the

Does the machine still run OK?
and the cord is not broken or badly kinked in any place

If so-- then maybe just the re-wind mechanism needs replacing.
This is going to require opening up the machine, and getting deep inside for repairs.
are yo equipped with the tools and patience to tear into the depths of this machine?

Another thought to consider:
The repair parts will likely cost close to $50-- is the machine about ready to fail in other areas?
How are the hoses?-- does it have necessary suction for your work? How old is the machine?

It might be good for you to take the machine to a Vacuum cleaner repair guy that you trust, and ask his honest opinion.
