No the cord should not be warm,, either the cord wire size is to small or the outlet amperage is not large enough. The cord warms up, because it is pulling to high of amps for the size of the wire, and the cord is starting to act like a heating element. My guess is that the replacement cord is a smaller wire size and is not safe to use, need to use a larger wire size cord. I hope this helps.

If it won't work without a ground wire, but still works with one, then you must have a ground/earth connection to make it work - it sounds like there is a safety device that needs an earth to release, you could almost certainly bypass this relatively easily, but it will be there for a good reason and that would be dangerous. Bearing this in mind, regardless of which 2/3 prong adaptors you use, without an earth connection it will not function without risk probably of electric shock from the case or damage to the vacuum, else the safety device would not be there. Get an electrician to your home, and make him install grounded sockets where necessary (should be all, but at least get a couple). Ungrounded/unearthed domestic power sockets at all domestic AC voltages are lethal eventually, to man or machines. A lot of devices don't need an earth, but especially something with a big motor or a metal case usually does. At least ask a local electrician what he thinks. If you want to do it yourself, an Earth circuit in your home is not too hard to achieve if you have basic wiring skills (and access to the ground floor), but most insurance would dislike the idea - if you want to - post again and I may talk you through it. Hope this helps :) Please be careful :(

Fryers draw high amps.Goto home depot,lowes and buy a 15amp 125 volt plug.Cut the exsisting plug off the cord,strip the cord down 2 inches you will see 3 wires black,white,green, connect the green wire to the green screw on the plug.connect the other 2 wires on either of the remaining spades(it doesnt matter).let me know

Sounds like heat element is defective drawing too much current. Make sure you are not using an extension cord on this heater, it has to be plugged directly into wall socket. Post model number on here so we know what unit we are dealing with.

See the basic dryer heat circuit. The dryer motor operates on 110volts A/C. Dryer receptacles have an L-shaped neutral post. You can check the voltage to your dryer by slightly sliding the cord out of the receptacle and using the leads from a multi meter to check for voltage on the blades of the cord that slide into the receptacle. Between the left and the right blades you should read 220 volts. Between the left or right blade to the center blade (the L-shaped blade) you should read 110 volts AC. The 4-post receptacle above has the L-shaped neutral and a seperate ground. It requires a 4 wire cord and the ground wire is isolated from the neutral on the dryer.
