Bob Walker on Jan 07, 2014IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: The new plug will have 3 color screw connectors - The wire with the green insulation connects to the green screw - which connects to the U shaped blade. The black wire or sometimes red wire (the 'hot' wire) connectors to the 'bronze colored screw" which connects to the narrow blade The white wire connects to the silver screw which connects with thew wide blade.
