      All are invited to this special Live Dojo business roundtable, where rather than talking about our usual technical topics, we'll focus on all the aspects of appliance repair that don't involve fixing stuff. Our kickoff topic will be the road to $10k/month: what little changes can you make to your business, especially as a new business owner, that add up to make you more profitable?
      In addition to that, consider what business-related topics you would like to discuss, and if possible, post them ahead of time in the replies to this calendar entry.
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.
      Who: This workshop is available to everybody, including you! You don't have to be a member of Appliantology to join the fun.
      When: Saturday, June 13 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.

Konichiwa!

My kenmore stopped working. We've had it for 5 yrs, replaced lots of parts- but recently, I turned her on and she ran for a few moments, then stopped dead, like the power cord fell out of the outlet.

I checked the cord, still plugged in, but could not turn the power on with the little button.

So...I tried another outlet- still not working.

I looked at the cord itself, and found that it was a bit chewed up and some copper is visable (Thanks to my Sweet Saint Bernard) but had been working just days before. (okay... go ahead...tell me its the cord! lol)

I am sure I need to replace the power cord...but, being a novice...could it be anything else? Anything that warrants a new vacuum all together, or can I ressusitate this patient?

Forever grateful to your most wise guidance...

You'd have to test to see if power is making it to the Switch # 3
