- Taking the GFCI off your power cord for a new one.
While this is a fairly generalized process, and may work with many other items, this video was made specifically for #arblueclean #electricpressurewasher with GFCI plugs that have two prongs.

I just replaced mine thanks to this video I could easily tell wich was + and -. Thank you so very much I almost throw my AC away and I've never done anything similar. You deserve many views and likes♡ thank you so very much ♡
Glad it worked out so well for you 😁
I took my Summer Waves pool pump plug apart last night and it looks just like this but with a ground. The pump worked one day then didn't the next. I took the plug apart to try to figure out why. I was excited to find this video but you don't show the piece you replaced or mention where to get it. It looks like you took it apart and then put it right back together. If I look for a GFCI replacement how do I know if I'm getting the correct size/type?
You're absolutely correct. The plug I used was perfectly fine, so I put it right back on. Now, each one has its own specifications so you'll need to get those from the plug you remove. Typically you can find replacements at electric supply shops, this is your best bet aside from searching online, and sometimes you can find them at hardware stores too.
You were killing me with that wrong sized screw driver. 😂
Ok did u but a new gfi for that are use the same one never Sean a new one u replace
You have no idea how much you have just help especially after 4 days of frustration because these summer wave skimmers are garbage. One thing breaks down, we fix it something else breaks down we, fix it. LASTLY was the plug, It wouldn't stay on so I spent a good 4 hours this morning looking at videos until I found yours I have skimmers, 1 motor wis shot and the other The button wouldn't stay on....Thank you so much!!!
Its my pleasure! Thanks for the kind words, Father of Chase!
I could be wrong as i cant see the plug well but it looks like it is an LCDI. Im not familiar with any gfc plug without a ground terminal. Hence the g in gfi. An LCDI is similar but doesnt trip due to faulty ground. They are to trip when there is voltage leakage or bleed thru usually in older cables or damaged cables befire there is an arc and fire soon to follow. There are a bunch of folks getting confused or misinformed about the two type plugs. If you are having issues with an cable like this read the info carefully to insure you replace with the proper plug type. Both will have a reset button and test button. However they are not the same thing. Most of the time youllbfind LCDI plugs allready attached to a cable and are to replace the whole cable as there is a problem internally. A gfi may not trip before an internal short starts a fire. Even then if the fire doesnt directly envolve the cable shorting to ground it wont trip at all until that ground is effected.
I do not believe a GFCI trips because of a fault to the ground terminal as you state.
In fact, a GFCI is often used in a two wire AC circuit WITHOUT a ground conductor.
Therefore in conclusion, if anything it is a misnomer.
comment please
I'm not sure if this video relates to my problem when I plug in my window Ac the break in the cord trips and it keeps doing it so if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it
I appreciate you showing us what could you have used a drill you took more time on screw in those little screws than you did anything LOL
I hear you, Dawn. The video could have been shorter.
I probably could have used one, and I plan to remake this soon so maybe I'll do just that.
I got to do this with my AC unit but the screws on the cover are weird they are square . Not a philips head, not a flat head. Idk what this screwdriver is called. Does anyone know?
You need a set of "Security" bits , harbor freight has inexpensive set
Square drive very common
I have to do the exact same thing to my AC unit today. Same type of screws. Fortunately square bits are common in Canada. I'd never seen one before I came here 😂😂😂
I have to wiggle my plug just right for my inflatable hot tub to turn on now. Would replacing this help solve my issue?
I’ve already checked the outlet and found out it’s my cord where it’s plugs in at and how it’s positioned in the outlet which causes it not to work if it’s just plugged straight in. I got to push it in to the left because it seems like there is a short or something idk.
All my outdoor receptacles have a GFCI. Does anyone see any reason why I can't just cut off the built in GFCI, replace with a regular 3 prong plug, and plug that into the GFCI receptacle? I'm still protected.
I'm no electrician, so I can't say one way or the other - but I would posit that the manufacturer built it the way they did for a reason and it would likely be for the best to keep things within their specifications.
Thanks. Just changed mine on the jacuzzi because your video showed how simple it was.
Glad I could help!
#ratchetdriver lol
Wish I had seen this before I cut the air conditioner cord off to splice it onto another. It sparked so here I am watching videos. Repair shop wants $120 for a new cord.
jamnjam Wow! If you've got enough cord and just need a new plug check out some videos on plug replacement. I don't have to strip anything in this one, but it's not a hard process.
Now that I've seen your video, I will order a replacement cord on Amazon and put it back together that way. You saved me at least $100. Thanks!
yaaaa me tooooo jesus...
Sucks when those screws strip out
Right😂
Why does this component stopped working on my blower? This is such a pain in the ass now I gotta go find this thing.
Mine has 4 connections inside,. Gnd, hot, neutral and a set of copper wire that are wrapped around the hot and neutral.. separate connection…. Not connected to ground and if you do tie one end to ground it immediately trips the plug.., cant figure out what the wires do on the appliance end.. if i leave them open then it wont trip via eddie currents.
Question. How does the test button work on the GFCI in the hair dryer plug? No ground connection.
Replaced mine and today it melted and caught fire. Thank God I was home.
I love how the electrical cord exited stage left so smoothly.
I have a Sun Joe pressure washer that seems to have a problem at the GFCI plug...this video was very helpful if I can take the plug apart the same way you did with this one. By any chance would the plug housing becoming warm on the outside prior to the failure of the plug indicate something wrong internally? I appreciate you making this video.
I have a window ac model number LW1510ER 15,000 BTU and I plugged it in and press the power button and no power at all. Outlet is working, green light is on on the plug and the fuse in the AC is okay. When I stored it last year it powered up perfectly. What could it be?
TY
This helped, thanks, about to do it real quick.
Ok I see hot and neutral but were is ground
This particular plug does not have a ground because it's being attached to a machine that has a double insulated motor.
How does the test button work on the plug! no groung.
What black & white is grown and power right
Where can you find a gfci? I can’t find one for my pool
You can find them at hardware stores and electrical shops. Make sure you get one that meets the same specifications!
I just got one at Home Depot for my a.c. unit. Leviton: $17.97
For an instructional video you should have put the cover back on correctly.
Where do you buy the replacement plug? What exactly is it called please? TY
Im looking for it to.
GFCI replacement plug. This is one from an AR Blue Clean pressure washer you can get from the company.
