Default replacement power cord stops working at the slightest touch...

Long story short...I lost the power cord to my Innovis 1500D when I moved, about a year ago. I bought a replacement online. The replacement fit, but did not have the secure, "snugly attached" feeling that the original did. It worked, as long as nothing touched the cord. Eventually, I taped it to my sewing table. But last night I had to move the machine a few inches to one side and untaped the cord to do it. And now the power stops at the slightest breeze, even though I re-taped it to the table.

It looks connected, but clearly the flow of electricity inside the cord, where it connects to the machine, is not making it across the gap. Isn't there some sort of conductive grease that could be inserted into the connection? To fill the gap?

And one more question...could all this power on/power off/power on activity damage my machine?

So frustrated....

Thank you
