I had the end of my tumble dryer cable get melted on an extension lead and figured I would just order a brand new cable to replace it. Want to keep the length so don't want to cut it and replace just the end. Want a whole new one.
How important is it to get the replacement power cable for the tumble dryer direct from the manufacturer? Will a variety of cables work?
The model is this:
Sharp KD-GCB8S7GW9-EN
Attached is a pic of the power cable with green/yellow, brown, and blue wires (from my current cable):
I figure it can't be too difficult to just replace this with whatever new one I order and attach the new ends to where the old ones were. Anything to watch out for?
The manufacturer quoted me £42 for a new cable and then I found this one on eBay for £25.
Any reason why I couldn't get the eBay one? Any cable like this I can get at a local shop like BQ or something like that?
