⚡STEP BY STEP⚡

In this video, you will learn how to change a plug.

Work safely and disconnect the differential.

Remove the front cover of the plug.

By levering, you can remove the box containing the cables.

As you can see, they are clamped by screws, unscrew them to release them.

We have the phase, the ground, and the neutral.

Now is the time to change the frame so that the new fixture fits into it.

It is not necessary to unscrew completely, just a little so that, with a movement, we can remove the piece.

Place the new frame making sure it fits with the screws of the box.

To insert the cables, remove the front cover by pressing with a flat-head screwdriver.

You will find a symbol in the center indicating that the ground cable goes there, to the right and left we will place the phase and the neutral.

Make sure the cables are stripped to the exact measurement indicated by the manufacturer.

As we said before, place the ground in the center, where the drawing appears.

Now the neutral.

You can check the products I have used in the video description.

To finish, secure the phase cable and confirm that they are all securely attached.

Place the cover and snap it into the frame.

The last step is to place the frame and, of course, check that everything works.

Remember that I have more videos on my channel about home repairs.
