DC14 Power Cord Quick Tips

Seller was great - no problem. The replacement cable, however, was a beast to understand. Ideally, your new power cord should come with no clips or caps on the ends of the cord and with two such clips for you to use at the right time. This product had rubber caps on the end which were completely useless on my DE 14 Low Reach. Let me state that if you purchase this item, you will complete this project quickly (as opposed to my full hour). The end of the old power cord has a clear electrical plug that is used to turn on the vacuum cleaner power switch. In order for this item to function properly you will need to cut off the rubber caps on the end of the NEW power cord, then remove the plastic clips from the OLD power cord and set aside. When you take the vacuum apart, you have a curved plastic tube that you need to reattach - slide the power cord up that curved part before attaching the clear plastic clips. Your new cord is now ready to be installed on your vacuum cleaner. It was easy to remove the rubber cover from the new power cord by simply cutting it off and using some force to remove the plastic clips from the old power cord, but they come. Finally, there may not be enough bare wire at the ends of the new power cord to reassemble the vacuum. If this is the case you will need to CAREFULLY remove some of the rubber cables to expose most of the wires. I used very small toenail clippers because they are sharp and small enough to be manoeuvrable. There are no instructions but there are some good ones on your tube. That was the only way I could understand it from start to finish. Don't be afraid to do this repair yourself - I have no electrical knowledge and did it myself.
