I have replaced my plug twice. In both cases, the wiring in the cable and the path thru the plug do NOT lend to a smooth process. I had to cross one wire over the other they way they are arranged in the cable. However, the plug didn't have room to maneuver the wiring to make a good connection without a lot of manipulation. And I don't trust the wiring. The 2nd one had the same issue and apparently the bracket that held the cable to the plug wasn't tight enough and the wires pulled loose and melted the cable/plug a little.
The bracket has an adapter to make it tighter, however, even with that there was a little looseness. This time I added something (piece of rubber - I can't remember) so I could screw it down tighter.
