Hello, everyone! I was hoping that someone could give me some tips on how to replace the power cord on my Electrolux Discovery Plus model 1572e. I needed a good vacuum for my carpet, and woefully made the mistake of buying a cheap Dirt Devil upright. It is so small and crappy that I thought it was a toy. It was a waste of money. I wanted a nice 80's Electrolux upright with tools, because I know that they will last. I got one from Facebook Marketplace for $15.00 with tools. It runs great, but someone did in the past replace the power cord by cutting off the old one and then grafting a new one into its place. I want to replace this with a NOS cord, but I cannot figure out how to remove the old cord from its socket. I'm handy with tools, so I took it apart, and still couldn't figure out how to remove it. I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could explain how to do this. This model didn't have the external socket for the PowerMate. Mine came with the tools, but they are a hodgepodge, with some not being for this machine, and some seeming to be aftermarket ones. My next goal is to find an original set of tools for this. My thanks to anyone who came help me with this.
