Electrical cords are the most flexible and external available part of an appliance. They tend to wear out quite often from use. For this temporary but simple repair, you will need a wire cutter, a wire stripper, electrical replacement caps, and electrical tape.

1. Locate the damaged portion of the wire. Carefully, feel the entire cord searching for frayed and damaged sections of the cord.

2. Make sure the appliance is completely unplugged from the wall. (This is a safety step to ensure you are not electrocuted.)

3. Carefully cut through the insulating wire on both sides of the damaged portion of the cord. Do not cut through the copper wiring. Wire cutters are the perfect tool since they are designed for this type of job. However, if you don’t have wire cutters a utility knife or other sharp tool can do the trick.

4. Once the cord has been penetrated through on both ends opposite the damaged cord. Use the wire strippers to reveal the copper wiring.

5. Remove the damaged copper wiring.

6. Join both ends in an electrical replacement cap.

7. Wrap any exposed wiring in electrical tape. Electrical tape is useful for this type of repair because it conducts electricity and is flexible enough to use on an electrical cord.
