Can You Wire A Plug?
60 Answers
The plug on my coffee machine got splashed with a good lump of hot water whilst I was cleaning the worktop. Fortunately nothing went 'BANG' - but it was a moulded on plug & I couldn't be sure it was all dried out.
So I found a spare plug, cut the old one off the cord, stripped the wires & then had a 'bit of a moment' ...
... I must have fitted hundreds (thousands?) of plugs over the years, but haven't done one for a good while, now that everything has a fitted plug when you buy it.
Logically I know which colours are which - but would you trust yourself without checking?
I did check (and was right) ... but would you?

My washer was situated in the cellar it was a huge drum thing with a swishing paddle and a wringer attached (handed down). One day it wouldn't start so I tackled the plug, switched it on and ran for cellar steps in case it blew up. It worked.
