Hobby fabricator with a 140-amp MIG, a TIG I am still scared of, and a garage full of bed-frame steel.
Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.
Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.
Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.

Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.
Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.
Upvoted for the safety notes alone.

Great find. Did not know this channel existed.

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

This is the kind of post that makes this place worth it.

I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.

Glad it helped.
Solid. Sending this to my brother who keeps asking me to fix his.

Bookmarking. I have exactly this problem and was about to pay someone.
