An appliance of mine had a half-slit, in the electrical cord, and it went on and off, and gave sparks, depending on how I bended the cord. I tightly wound a few inches of black electrical tape to the cord, and the issue was solved - it works fine now, no sparks. I'm a add 'Electrician' to my Professional Portfolio. 🤣🤣🤣 Am I lying? 🤣🤣🤣
