The "what went wrong" section is the most useful part of this. More people should do that.

Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.

Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?

Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.

I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.

Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.
