If you don't know if it's the cord, I'd start there. If you have a multimeter check the continuity between the two plugs.
Cords are extremely easy to disassemble for checking and repair.
When taking the motor plug apart, don't get the order of the copper contacts mixed up. A digital camera is a great help here.
Electrical problems are very easy to diagnose, and safe if you're thorough.
