The Problem:
- Lamp does not light or flickers
- Damaged cord might cause a short circuit or even fire.
Tools Needed:
- A screwdriver
- A knife
- An open – end wrench
Basic Steps:
- Unplug the lamp.
- Remove shade and bulb from the lamp.
- Pry off felt pad on lamp base carefully with a knife.
- If the base contains a weigh, remove the nut holding it in place and take the weight out.
- Lift the tube that runs through the lamp body about 6 inches out of the top.
- Turn the tube counterclockwise or loosen the set screw (or both, depending on the installation) to remove the tube from the lamp socket.
- Press in at bottom of the socket’s metal outer shell.
- Lift the outer shell straight up.
- Loosen the terminal screws and remove the wire.
- Pull out the cold cord at the bottom of the lamp.
- Thread new cord through the tube.
- Strip the ends of the wires and attach them to the terminals on the socket, then reassemble.
