Another written guide, more detailed on tools and the order of operations. The checklist is handy to print and tick off as the parts arrive.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.

Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.

Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.
