How do I replace a broken wire? Do I have to remove the handle; if so, how do I do that? Sorry, but I need step by step instructions.

Unscrew the handle and remove the broken wire from both ends. On the bottom of the slicer, there should be two wires taped to the bottom. Each wire has two loops on it. Slip the wire over both ends from where they were attached and screw the handle back on. The handle should allow you to put tension on the wire to make it good and tight. (The handle is the tensioning device.)

I had a problem with a broken handle and contacted the manufacturer.They were very responsive. I'm sure they can help you.

Call the customer service. You might have to wait on hold for a bit.but Just tell the customer service person your problem and they will send you a replacement pole.

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

Check on youtube, that's what I did, and it worked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIdT4kS3noYThe procedure of replacing the door handle is very easy to do, it took me less than five minutes.

You might need to tighten the handle somewhat on your own, when you take it out of the box. Just use a basic screwdriver. It has not been a problem for me since doing this.

There are some good youtube video that show step by step instructions. Yes, it is not easy but possible I just did not have the money to let a professional repair it so I did it myself. I just took my time and did exactly what the video was telling me and now is working just fine. So the bottom line is you can do it on your own risk.

You can just unscrew the handle all the way out and replace it that way or if you can still undo it from the front you can also do that. Its easier if you just unscrew the handle then unscrew the pin with a needle nose plier and screw the new one in.

I had the same problem. You have to use the wire connection along with the two batteries in the handle. Mine worked well after that. Enjoy !

Yes I have. No success fixing it. Also had the handle break off. Haven't been able to get through to manufacturer after many attempts. Sorry, I can't help

I am not experienced with doing so because it comes with it. So I would have to strip the wire and add a new one. Which wouldn't look as nice. In all, pretty hard to replace.

My handle also broke. I found a replacement broom handle at home depot that fit the threads in the broom head. it seems they're pretty standard. I brought the broom head to make sure the handle fit!

I didnt cut that wire off. I loosened the faring and unpluged the old one, then I pluged the new one in. I would say yes. I would just splice the new one to the old wire. Jerry

Same thing happened to me on the large one, my husband is very handy and he took the lid apart and there was a wire that got disconnected, he was able to fix it, if it wasnt for him than it would still not be working. If you filled out the product registration than you can contact the company and they will replace it.

Sorry, I had to replace mine with a KWIKEE also and still can't find someone to hook it up right. If you ever find someone to fix it where it works right let me know.

I would contact manufacturer and explain problem. I have done this several times over the years with different itemsand often times a replacement is sent. Hope it works this time for you as this is a very handy tool!!!
