[QUOTE=Ariannaquilts;6806964 But I really want to know about the little piece that broke off if it is necessary or not. I did read the manual but it doesn't refer to it at all, so don't know how important it may be. Do you happen to have a 401A?[/QUOTE]
Maria, personally I would replace the light. A picture of the broken piece you are referring to would make it easier to give you a suggestion regarding it. And no, I don't have a 401a, yet. LOL
