    Broken bones? Shrapnel In your face? Never reach for the on-off switch, just run away!
    Found this pic on Reddit, cap looks like a plastic housing electrolytic? with big rubber bung at the end.

      Hey, i have to repair an electronic board on an electric power stearing. the package was damaged during delivery and the connector was broken. but i can't find a part. the connector is the same BUT reversed as fiat power steering. I searched on digikey, mouser and aliexpress and i can't find any part similar. it's an uflex electric power steering, but i don't have more reference on the power steering block. if needed, i can buy any complete part just to recover the conector on the board and put it on this board...

      Ryobi 36V (aka 40V) 6Ah Faulty Battery Pack
      by brispuss
      Purchased a Ryobi 36V 6Ah battery pack maybe just over a year ago.

      Battery pack had been used on about 3 or 4 occasions for powering a cordless lawnmower. I was wanting to use this battery pack again recently, but on checking the battery charge state via the battery pack test button, there was no LED indication at all of charge state which suggested the pack was fully discharged.

      I found this to be odd as I usually fully recharge battery packs shortly after use. So either the pack developed some sort of fault which completely discharged the pack cells (after recharging),...

      Swan SP0110N electric tin opener, not turning can.
      by fuzzy4
      Hi all,

      I have this electric tin opener and the part that moves the can round (1st picture), doesn't move, I can hear the motor turning, but no movement, there's something rattling inside, so presume a piece of plastic has broken, or come loose.

      Took the bottom plate off, but left with this (3rd picture), any ideas how to get inside?

      Thanks....

      New wire for my RDE3340 Whirlpool electric range
      by wnlewis
      OK. I got the rocker switch figured out thanks to the good advice on this forum.

      Now I need to figure out the correct wire to go to the switch from the broiler element and from the oven element.

      This is a Whirlpool RDE3340 electric range.

      The common wire on the switch appears to have a high temperature insulating material. I am guessing that both the wire to the broiler and the wire to the oven elements also need relatively high temperature insulation. What do I need to look for? The broiler is rated at about 2400 watts.

      Where may I find parts...
