Fix over-heating power cord on a Hamilton-Beach M/N 40622R Percolator.

Hi @kronological ,

I think that perhaps you should change to a cordless base type percolator as you seem to be having problems with the corded type (you did say that you have tried 2 different percolators, presumably they were of the same corded connection type).

This is not a recommendation, merely an example to show what I mean by cordless.

Here’s an image taken from the link that shows it better.

I have both a Hamilton Beach percolator, and a Farberware percolator. The cords to both were getting quite warm, and got hotter when they would switch to the keep hot setting. I bought a universal cord, which fits both units, and was quite a bit longer in length. Even the brand new cord is getting a bit hot. I've taken to keeping a close eye on the percolators, while using them, and after filling my cup a couple of times, I unplug it. Both percolators make excellent coffee, but I'm still going to keep an eye on them while they're being used...
