When replacing the wires, it's nearly impossible to get the wire tight. How do you get a tight wire when replacing it?

I'm sorry, I havent had to replace my wire yet. Hopefully you get some answers.

For the longest time, I really liked this cheese cutter. Until, I was not able to find the correct replacement wires. When I was able to order the wires, I didn't find it too difficult to replace the wire. I had to adjust the ends just right, and the wire was tight enough to cut cheese just the way I like it. Maybe the wires now are too long? Hope this helped a little

I assumed cutting the wires would be required. Looking at the typical application before deciding to replace the socket would indicate cutting the wires could be required. Looking at the wire nuts supplied would also be a clue.

I had lots of trouble too, and the manufacturer was no help. I posted a question here on amazon and got a great reply. I decided to make a little video, which I hope helps! http://blogofott.blogspot.com/2013/09/wideand-tight.html?m=1

I had the good fortune to have the old,nearly identical switch in place. That made it easy to swap the new wires one-for-one with the old. Without a formal wiring diagram I would recommend calling an electrician or perhaps the manufacturer of the component on which you are installing the new switch.

Mine was tight fitting also. I really had to use some force. I pushed plugs in and loosened them up while it was in my hand rather than in the wall. That helped. Hope this works for you.

A wire inside has come loose and it is not heating. This is an easy fix as heaters are very simple. 1. Unscrew the bottom 2. Look inside and slip the loose wire back onto the tab 3. Put the bottom back on 4. Happy sealing.

Adjust the side wheels to tighten up the wire. It may take a few times but will work.

Works great! Careful with the installation, though-I clearly have a wire loose, and will need to go back in there and jiggle it.

This is not normal. I have bought 6 of these and none have had wire protruding. I think it's a manufacturer's defect. They should replace it for you.

What I did was just stripped the plastic coating off the wire far enough back to wrap it around the battery post the tighten it back down

The method Johnwwillis describes is best. Drill the hole, feed wire through the hole, then insert into the wire vise, snug the vise up to the post, and tighten the wire. Here's a youtube video I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p390qV_6CQ0

Hi Greg, no trick involved. There's a little rubber piece near on the side of the battery compartment you can push out a bit to allow the wire to go through and then close the compartment. Cheers

Sorry i cannot comment, i never had an issue with that. However, how do you change the wire?

Okay what I would do is twist the wires till its nice and tight and fits in the hole then screw it in you want a good 1/2-1 inch of wire in there. If that doesn't work you could always run down to WalMart go to the car section since all walmarts are nearly the same and go to where they keep all the fuses and get a 5$ solder iron with the solder and just solder the wires together and then that will never come out. Best of luck.

You have to loosen the nut on the battery terminal and strip the wire and secure it under the nut. I went and bought an open terminal instead of using bare wire.
