So, I open up the box following my wife telling me the motor isn't
working and that there was a zap sound. I find a rather large black,
sooty spot next to the on-off switch for the motor and the black wire
burnt and the spade thing that the black wire was attached to still
screwed into the switch, although as I mentioned the wire itself was no
longer attached.
Is this just a matter of switching out the switch or something
worse that I should maybe call in repair people for?? I can do the
latter, but that about exhausts what I am comfortable doing with
electricity.
