Right to Repair Watch
Tracking repair legislation, parts-pairing fights and manufacturer shenanigans.
Solid. Sending this to my brother who keeps asking me to fix his.
Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.
I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.

Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Upvoted for the safety notes alone.

Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.
Small addition: wear eye protection for the part where you pry it. Learned that one the hard way.

The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.

The "what went wrong" section is the most useful part of this. More people should do that.
