GH1615 - wired incorrectly, how to swap the power leads

GH1615 is a fridge power lead with an Anderson-type high-current connector plug. Some leads in orange bags may have been wired incorrectly at the factory. The fridge will not power-on with an incorrectly-wired lead.

Identifying the incorrectly-wired leads

Incorrectly-wired leads will be in an orange re-sealable bag and have the wire with embossed writing on it go to the - (negative) side of the high-current plug as shown below.

If your lead is like the above it is incorrectly-wired, and the contacts at the high-current plug need to be popped out and swapped around. If the wire-with-writing goes to the +, you do not need to rework the lead.

Reworking the affected leads

Poke a small flat blade screwdriver into the high-current plug next to the silver contact, and press down on the spring inside until you can pull the cable out of the back of the plug housing.

This is a side-view of the connector interior - press the spring under the contact down, and pull the cable in the direction of the arrows.

Remove both contacts from the plug using this method.

Now swap the cables around horizontally and push them back into the sockets, with the unmarked wire to - and the wire-with-writing to +. They need to go in the same way up as they came out.

You can push the contacts in from the wire-side of the plug using the screwdriver. The contacts have to be oriented so that the hooked end goes over the top of the spring. Make sure they click into place firmly. 

The reworked lead should have the wires oriented as shown below.
