Thanks, Joe. I'm just going to replace the wire. I took the machine out of the cabinet and marked the ends of the wires.... which go to 1 which go to 2, etc. The old wire started crumbling and exposing the wire.... that means it needs to be replaced. So, I'll read what you suggest and get back with you. We're having a pretty bad storm going through right now so we may loose power. I sure hope not but I may be able to check things out.... I may not. I do have the 'puter unplugged right now. I don't want to fry the 'puter.
