Step 1
Unplug the hot plate from the electric outlet.
Step 2
Locate the screws which secure the outer body of the hot plate to its framework. Also check for screws on the bottom feet of the hot plate.
Step 3
Remove the screws with the appropriate screwdriver and set them aside.
Step 4
Lift the outer body of the hot plate from its frame.
Step 5
Locate the electric hot plate terminal bus by following the power cord wires.
Step 6
Remove the wire stress clamp screw with a screwdriver. The wire clamp is located just below the terminal bus. Remove the clamp from the old cord by prying it open with your fingers.
Step 7
Disconnect the three power cord wires from the terminal bus. Turn each terminal screw in a counterclockwise direction with a screwdriver until it is loose enough to remove the wires.
Step 8
Connect the black wire of the new cord to the L1 terminal of the bus. Tighten the L1 terminal screw by turning it clockwise.
Step 9
Connect the white wire to the N terminal of the bus. Tighten the N terminal screw.
Step 10
Connect the green ground wire to the G terminal of the bus. Tighten the ground terminal screw.
Step 11
Place the stress clamp onto the new cord and squeeze it together with your fingers.
Step 12
Secure the stress clamp with the screw in the same location it was removed from. Tighten the clamp screw with a screwdriver.
Step 13
Check all the connections once more for security.
Step 14
Place the body of the hot plate back in position onto its frame.
Step 15
Line up the screw holes of the body and the frame. Install each of the screws and tighten clockwise with a screwdriver.
